West Brom boss Tony Pulis: Pleasing performance, pleasing result

West Brom boss Tony Pulis was delighted with their 4-0 rout of Burnley.

Pulis lauded Salomon Rondon, whom he signed from Zenit St Petersburg in the summer of 2015.

"He's a good player and he's certainly upped his game from last year," Pulis said.

"Last year was a bit of a struggle for him. He couldn't speak much English. His children weren't in school. They've got to school. His children I think speak better English than Salomon does, but he understands it now so he's become a bigger part of the group."

On the team display, Pulis added: "We're pleased. We scored the goals at the right time and we grew in confidence from there. It's a pleasing performance, a pleasing result.

"Burnley are a good side, never stop. You're on your toes. I was hoping that fourth would go in and then you think 'you can relax a little bit."
