Bednar hoping for a striking partnership

Last-gasp hero Roman Bednar believes that Sunday's victory over Manchester City could see the start of a beautiful partnership between him and Luke Moore. Both Albion strikers got themselves on the score-sheet at the weekend and fired the Baggies within four points of safety.

The duo marked their first Premiership start together with the goals that secured three vital points with Bednar now hoping the goal-scoring partnership can blossom as the season continues.

Although delighted with own performance, Bednar reserved particular praise for his fellow forward claiming Albion fans have yet to see the best of Luke Moore.

"It will give Luke a big lift to his confidence to get that first goal and I hope we will play the next game together as well because I think we were dangerous together," the former Hearts man said.

"I think all the good players can play together.

"If you are a good player, you have got to understand each other on the pitch and I can play with Luke and he can play with me. We know that.

"The ball was played up to me more than usual on Sunday and I think me and Luke really enjoyed the work.

"This is what we need to do more.

"The gaffer said to play more to the strikers, they did it on Sunday and me and Luke looked good.

"I think we will be glad if we can play together more.

"Everyone was pleased for Luke because he does work hard in training and he scores some great goals in training but he just needed to play more games in a row.

"I think in the future he will score more goals because he is a good, quality player and just needed a break like everyone at the moment.

"I am really glad for him and the team.

"It was a good finish. He did really well."
