JAKUB MODER remains on his quest for his first Premier League goal after a frustrating night at Old Trafford.
The midfielder was desperately unlucky not to have at least scored on two different occasions.
The first of which was in the opening 45 minutes against Manchester United when he forced an incredible reflex save from David De Gea and the second was late on when his hit the crossbar with an audacious effort from distance.
Moder is yet to score for Albion in the Premier League despite making 35 appearances in the competition, however he is determined to change that record.
βThe header was good but the save was even better, I had this header and also I hit the crossbar in the second half," Moder told BBC Sussex.
π£ "It was a great save to be honest." π

βIt is coming, like I said many times before I try not to think about it, it is coming I had many chances to score but I just have to put it in the goal.β
The 22-year-old does have a goalscoring pedigree and was a regular on the scoresheet in Poland and he has even scored twice for his national side, including one against England.
Moder is right that he is having the chances to score as he is averaging 1.71 shots per 90 minutes but he is being denied with by in form goalkeepers or is missing the target.
It is only a matter of time until the Polish international breaks his duck in the Premier League.
He will have his chance again on Saturday as Albion take on Burnley at the Amex Stadium.
Speaking ahead of the game, Moder said: βWe have improved a lot since I came to the club and are still improving. When I came we fought to stay in the league and now we are ninth and could do even better, that is certainly our ambition.
βWe will recover and think about Burnley on Saturday. We have to stay focussed and keep playing at this level.β
