Boss: More to come from Moore

The former Villa man grabbed the first two goals at London Road as Albion raced into a 3-0 lead but the Baggies were left clinging on for their 3-2 win.

However, Di Matteo was happy with his side's first-half attacking play and their second-half resilience.

"It was just a matter of time with Luke," said Di Matteo.

"In training he has been very sharp and has been scoring goals. It's good that he's off the mark and I think there is plenty more to come from him.

"We knew the game was still on at half-time. They huffed and puffed and tried very hard in the second half. We gave an easy goal away at the start of the second half but otherwise I thought we were very solid.

"In the first half I thought we were exceptionally good and I don't think they came near us.

"The goal just before half-time didn't help and with them playing at home they tried everything in the second half.

"I was very pleased with our performance in the first half. Against Newcastle we played some pretty good stuff as well.

"It's good to get off to a good start but it's a long season and there is another 43 games to go, so there is plenty of time to drop points."

Di Matteo believed the decision to disallow a third Posh 'goal' from Craig Mackail-Smith was correct after Aaron Mclean barged into keeper Scott Carson. "It was difficult for me to see but I think the linesman gave it quite early," said the Baggies boss.

"I think it was a charge on him." But the Italian felt the second yellow card that earned Graham Dorrans a sending-off was a shade harsh.

"I think he was looking for a free weekend with his wife," joked Di Matteo.

"He'll be out for Saturday. The crowd was on the referee's back. I don't think he even touched their guy and he went down very easily.

"It's good he's still going in for challenges at that stage of the game because the game is not over until the referee blows his whistle."

Posh manager Darren Ferguson was happy with his side's second-half fightback but annoyed to see them shoot themselves in the foot before half-time.

Ferguson said: "When we scored I thought we would get a result. I was very confident because we were on top and they were hanging on at the end.

"But we gave ourselves a complete mountain to climb.

" The goals we gave away were ridiculous and we've got to cut out those individual errors.

"If we cut them out of our game we will win matches but we're going to have to learn quickly.

"I said before the game that if we kept a clean sheet we would win the game and I had no doubt about that but the three goals were all individual errors.

"You can't do that against any team in this league or any league and we gave ourselves a real mountain to climb.

"The fans are desperate for us to get a result and they were fantastic."
