Tony Pulis believes Hal Robson-Kanu's winner at Southampton justified West Bromwich Albion's "big risk'' in signing the Wales international in the summer.
Robson-Kanu's stunning strike sealed West Brom's 2-1 win at St Mary's on Saturday, with the 27-year-old firing his first Premier League goal in more than three years.
Former Reading man Robson-Kanu helped Wales to the Euro 2016 semifinals in the summer, though was without a club when the season started.
West Brom stepped in at the last minute to offer the London-born striker a route back to the top flight, and he capped his first start for the Baggies with a sweetly struck winner against Southampton.
