Saido Berahino is kicking on at Albion

The Albion forward spoke out after a Man of the Match performance and goal in Albion's 3-2 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The Burundi-born striker apologised on Friday for his threat to strike earlier in the season.

He said: "A lot has happened in the past and I'm just looking to put that behind me and focus on finishing the season strongly.

"I put my hand up and I blame myself really for letting my standard drop but I'm not looking to the past any more.

"I just want to try and do the best for the team and also contribute with the goals."

Meanwhile, boss Tony Pulis said Berahino has a 'god-given gift' for goalscoring that will get him the move he wants to a top-four team.

The 22-year-old's sweet left-footed volley capped off a scintillating first-half at the Hawthorns on Saturday.

The forward also hit the upright with a curling right-footed effort and set up Albion's first goal with a pinpoint pass to strike partner Salomon Rondon.

Pulis said: "He has been given a God-given gift and he should squeeze the pips out of that and have a great, great career. Everything will follow, whether it is now, tomorrow or the next day.

"If he is playing well, he will get recognition and, if he wants, he will play for a top-four team. He will get the move, which is his ambition.

"He had that sharpness back. His mind is clear, he is set on his football again and he is a good player when that happens."

The Welshman said: "I don't think it is the money, I think it is the opportunity and the chance to show how good he is, playing in a top-four team, and you can't take that away from the boy.

"He is a driven person. He has got that ambition and you don't want to take that away from him. But he has got to do it in a proper way. You can speak to him and you think you have got him and then all of a sudden you could lose him.

"He's a good lad, he's not a bad lad."
