WEST Brom head coach Ryan Mason has challenged Aune Heggebo to hit the goal trail after his winner meant they came from behind to beat Oxford 2-1 at The Hawthorns.

Heggebo can hit the goals trail, insists Albion boss

The victory was Albion’s first in five league games and eased the supporters’ growing frustrations at the indifferent form after they booed their side off at halftime.

Heggebo cost £4.75million from Brann in August and the goal - coming just eight minutes after her replaced Josh Maja - was only his second in the Championship.

"I really believe he can contribute a lot more in terms of numbers," said Mason."You saw the type of finish it was - a really good run and a really good finish, so that's pleasing.

"I'm sure that’s going to give him some confidence going into games that he can help. I've never questioned his work-rate and his job he does for the team.

"He produced a top-level performance in terms of a number nine on Tuesday night (1-0 defeat at Charlton) and the only thing that was missing was a goal.

"We need to help him as much as possible to arrive in certain areas and have repetition of the ball arriving in certain areas."
