Boss Chris Hughton says Albion needed to be better in possession in today's stalemate at Norwich.

The 1-1 draw at Carrow Road against Hughton's old club from the Championship ended the run of warm-up wins against Fortuna Dusseldorf, Crawley and Southend.

Hughton said: "It was a tough run-out. We knew we were going up a gear against a very good side that play a different system.

"We knew it was going to be a bigger test for us and it showed.

"Generally we were solid and defended quite well against a very expansive team but we probably needed to be a little bit better on the ball."

Albion head to Spain on Tuesday for their penultimate friendly against Girona before a showpiece visit to the Amex by Atletico Madrid to complete their preparations for the Premier League kick-off at home to Manchester City on August 12.

Hughton said: "We have two games left. You want to start getting some principles and patterns in the team. We are still hoping to add to the squad but you have to get as close to the team, certainly going into these last two games, as you can.

"The opposition almost doesn't come any tougher than Atletico in the last game. Girona, like ourselves, have got promotion (to La Liga), so that again will be a tough one away from home."
