Berahino nets late penalty as West Brom draw with Palace

Saturday 25 Oct 2014
Saido Berahino has eight goals for the season

England Under-21s striker Saido Berahino continued his impressive start to the season after he netted an added time equaliser to help West Brom come from two goals down to earn a draw with Crystal Palace.

Berahino kept his nerve to score from the penalty spot and take his tally to eight goals for the campaign.

It was an amazing comeback from the Midlands club after Palace had raced into a two-goal lead with strikes from Brede Hangeland and Mile Jedinak.

But Victor Anichebe scored early in the second half to help West Brom get back in the game and Berahino salvaged a point right at the end to make it six goals in his last five games.

There was a welcome return for England forward Theo Walcott, who took his place as a substitute for Arsenal against Sunderland, nine months after he suffered a serious knee injury.

Even though he failed to appear during the game, the news of his comeback will come as a major boost to Three Lions manager Roy Hodgson.

Danny Welbeck, Calum Chambers, Kieran Gibbs and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all played their part as Arsenal recorded a 2-0 win at the Stadium of Light with Alexis Sanchez scoring both goals for the north London club.

Raheem Sterling and Adam Lallana both started for Liverpool but had to settle for a point as Hull came away from Anfield with a 0-0 draw. Jordan Henderson and Rickie Lambert both appeared as second-half substitutes but could not help their side come away with a victory.

England keeper Joe Hart and midfielder James Milner were on the losing team as West Ham continued their impressive start to the season with a 2-1 win over Manchester City at Upton Park.

Under-21s captain Jack Butland saved a first-half penalty but was unable to prevent Derby County going down 2-1 to Wigan Athletic in the Championship.
