Saido Berahino shoots down goal fluke as he compares West Brom winner to Zinedine Zidane
West Brom hero Saido Berahino admits his winning goal had a bit of Zinedine Zidane about it
SAIDO BERAHINO shot down any theories that his winning goal was a fluke and believed there was even a bit of Zinedine Zidane about it.
 
Zidane was once the best player in the world but there is no doubt Berahino definitely meant to divert James Morrison's 39th minute shot into the net.
And West Brom's £25m-rated striker who threatened to go on strike has gone from devil to angel all in the space of a couple of weeks.
 
His goal proved the difference and heaped the pressure on struggling Villa and their boss Tim Sherwood.
Albion skipper Darren Fletcher smiled as he told of Berahino's reaction to the slightest suggestion it had been a lucky deflection.
 
Fletcher said: "His exact words were 'it's a Zidane touch'. You can tell he doesn't lack confidence. He claims that he meant it and said it was just like Zidane. I think you can see how pleased we all were for him.
"He's a great player and we want him to be a great player while he's here. I think he'll score goals for England in the future - that's how highly I rate him."
