Steve Clarke says that team spirit has been the key to West Bromwich Albion's fine start to the season.

West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has no doubts that his players will keep their feet on the ground after a strong start to the season.

The Baggies sit third in the Premier League and are currently unbeaten after earning two wins and a draw from their opening three games.

Clarke has put their sensational start down to team spirit and experience but knows that they still have a long way to go yet.

"I think everybody is pleased with the start. What's good, though, is that even though the players are pleased with the start, nobody is getting carried away," said Clarke.

"We understand there are many tough games to come. We're just focused on the next game and trying to get a positive result down at Craven Cottage.

"The good thing about it here is that it's a good experienced squad. All the experienced players understand how difficult the Premier League is. Their feet are firmly on the ground."

Albion take on Fulham at Craven Cottage in their next game on Saturday.
