Shane Duffy is confident Albion can achieve achieve their goal of Premier League survival.

The Republic of Ireland central defender shrugged off a groin injury to play a leading role again in last night's 3-0 win at West Ham.

Manager Chris Hughton described Duffy and partner Lewis Dunk as "outstanding".

Duffy said: "We've always believed that we could (stay up).

"The momentum was with us last season. We're a hard team to beat and we've had a few new signings that have taken a while to settle in, but they're now doing brilliantly.

“But we're realistic and we'll enjoy the moment because it is the toughest league in the world."
