Pulis: That was more like it

Salomon Rondon and Saido Berahino spearheaded Albion’s 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace, according to Tony Pulis.

Albion’s front two caught the Baggies boss’ eye after an impressive show from the front two. Rondon and Berahino were a constant thorn for the Eagles defence as the Baggies raced into a three-goal lead.

Rondon’s shot was palmed into Craig Gardner’s path for Albion’s opener. After Craig Dawson had doubled the advantage with a header, Rondon started Albion’s move that Berahino finished with a close-range volley.

“The big thing for me were the front two. They caused so many probles. Saido dropped off, made good runs and Salomon was a handful.

“I thought we moved the ball quickly and played some smashing stuff, creating lots of chances.

“We conceded a poor goal just after half time which gave them a leg up.

“Jonas made a mistake and he was punished for him. The second goal was fantastic but I think there should have been a free-kick - a foul on McAuley - in the build up to it. 

“They say they should have had a penalty, but we should have had a free-kick for their second goal.

“We're in the top six for form over the last few games and haven't lost a goal since December 18 at home. We're now on 35 points with 11 games to play.”
