Allan Nyom has apologised to Watford supporters for celebrating in front of them during West Brom's weekend win.

Nyom left Vicarage Road to join Albion in the summer and was in the starting line-up for Saturday's 3-1 win at The Hawthorns.

The full-back was booed by some visiting fans during the game and appeared to taunt them with a three-fingered salute after Matt Phillips scored West Brom's third goal.
