West Brom starlet Berahino guides England U21 to victory

West Bromwich Albion young gun Saido Berahino has helped guide England U21s to a 3-0 victory over Moldova in their U21 Euro qualifier on Tuesday night.

The 21-year old Baggies ace, who has scored twice in the Premier League already this season, netted a brace as the Young Lions made it nine wins from 10 outings in their Group 1 qualifying stage for next year's U21 Euros.

Berahino opened the scoring in the 16th minute when he headed home Norwich City winger Nathan Redmond's cross before adding a second seven minutes into the second half.

Berahino's second came when he received a pass from Tottenham striker Harry Kane before slotting home prior to Kane finishing off the Moldovans with five minutes left when hammering home from inside the area.

Gareth Southgate's England remain at the top of the qualifying table, 12 points ahead of second-placed Finland, while Berahino took his goal tally to nine of his side's 31 during the campaign.
