West Brom boss Slaven Bilic likened Nathan Ferguson to England star Declan Rice after the youngster inspired the Baggies to a 2-0 win at QPR. Ferguson, 18, was outstanding at left-back and scored his first goal for the club to put them ahead seven minutes into the second half. Former West Ham manager Bilic, who worked with Rice at the east London club, was full of praise for Ferguson and believes he is destined for a bright future. “Nathan has a mentality that reminds me of Declan Rice,” Bilic said. “When we got the second goal it wasn’t game over – you can always come back – but we managed the game really well.
