Fletcher hails West Brom goalscorers

West Bromwich Albion captain Darren Fletcher hailed their goalscorers after victory over Swansea City.

Fletcher has backed strike duo Saido Berahino and Brown Ideye to fire the Baggies away from danger.

He said: "You need to score goals in this league to win matches and that mainly comes down to the strikers, although you want goals from all over the pitch.

"If we can get the service into them I'm sure they are going to take their chances. It's important in any team your strikers score goals.

"They were both fantastic, first and foremost their work-rate and desire, then their quality and the second was a perfect strike-partnership goal.

"They worked extremely hard, Saido had a really tough shift. He had to drop into midfield as well and then had to get forward but he did it, never moaned, got on with it and got his rewards with the goal which his performance deserved."
