What were Saido Berahino's thoughts on the match against Crystal Palace?

David Jones 0:00
Delighted to say that Saido Berejino is the man of the match and waiting to speak to us now live from the Hawthorns. Congratulations Saido, how much did you enjoy that?
Saido Berahino 0:09
It was good, you know, it was good coming back and getting a win at home that we all deserve. I think we worked really hard and credit to the boys, you know, we put a great shift. Fair play to Crystal Palace, second half, they came at us, but we stood our ground and we hold our own and we got the three points that we needed.
David Jones 0:28
Where do you think that performance came from then, Sido, to find yourselves 3-0 up after 30 minutes after what happened last week?
Saido Berahino 0:36
You know, we all worked hard on the training pitch this week, coming up against Crystal Palace. I thought all the boys stuck together after losing to Reading, we were all disappointed. And it was great to see all of us were at it and we started clicking and we got the goals. So the fans were brilliant, I just hope they enjoyed that.
Jamie Redknapp 0:58
Saido, Jamie read that. Congratulations. I just want to ask you about your role today and obviously your relationship with Rondon and Sessegnon. It looked like you really enjoyed it and you had some great movements going on today.
Saido Berahino 1:09
Yeah, we've been working hard at the training ground. We haven't clicked as much as we would like to, but today he came off and especially for the first goal, he made a great run and I gave it to him. He didn't get his goal today, but he worked really hard for us.
Jamie Redknapp 1:22
Son, I look at you, you're 22 years of age. I watch you tonight and I see such a talented young man. And I think, well, why can't you be doing that week in, week out for your team and for your manager? This is the sort of standards you've set now. You've got to be looking surely to try and find a way of getting into that European Championship squad in the summer as well with the way you're playing tonight.
Saido Berahino 1:42
Yeah, a lot has happened in the past and I'm just looking to put that behind me and focus on finishing the season strong. I put my hand up and I blame myself really for letting my standard drop, but I'm not looking into the past anymore and I'm going to try and do the best for the team and also contribute with the goals.
David Jones 2:00
And what about the rest of this season then, Saido? Do you think that you can start looking upwards now, West Brom?
Saido Berahino 2:07
Definitely. He was great to get that three points today that we all needed. And now we're looking forward to the next game, which is against Leicester. And hopefully we go out there and give our all and get the three points as well.
David Jones 2:20
Great stuff, Sido. Congratulations tonight and thanks so much for speaking to us. Well done, Sido. Thank you very much. Thanks. Some game we've seen tonight at the Hawthorns and when we come back we'll analyse that with Chris Coleman, the Wales manager, and Jamie Redknapp. Five goals to look back on as West Brom just did enough in the end.
David Jones 2:42
Great entertainment tonight at the Hawthorns. Fabulous start from West Brom. Booed off last week, but a real answer to their fans as Craig Gardiner put them in front early against Crystal Palace. A second from a set piece. Dawson in on the act, and then a terrific third. Berrejino scoring his first goal since October. 3-0 up with 31 minutes on the clock, but they didn't start the second half well. Wickham pouncing as Olsen made that error. Good finish from him, but that was nothing compared to this fantastic strike to make it 3-2. There was still time left in the game, but not enough time for Palace to find an equaliser. In fact, there was only two efforts on target. They had 15 attempts in all. Ten of those came in the second half, which was very different to the first.
David Jones 3:28
11 attempts from West Brom, five on target for them. And having won at Everton with, what was it, 24% possession, they've done it today with 46%. And 67% of their passes came in the opposition half. Pretty level in terms of touches in the opposition area. Wells manager Chris Coleman here with Jamie and myself. Did they just do enough in the end, Chris, you think?
Chris Coleman 3:53
Yeah, they did, and I think, you know, looking at the possession, the possession can be misleading if you don't look at where the possession is.
