West Brom 4 Burnley 0

West Brom striker Saido Berahino hailed a “great week” for his side after helping them wrap up a third win in eight days, but insisted the Baggies will not be getting carried away ahead of some testing-looking matches.

Berahino scored twice on Sunday as West Brom followed up their wins over Tottenham and Hull with a 4-0 thrashing of Burnley at The Hawthorns.

Those three victories came after a poor start to the season and have helped West Brom climb away from trouble at the foot of the Premier League standings and progress through to the fourth round of the Capital One Cup.

However, with matches against Liverpool and Manchester United next on the fixture list, Berahino knows there is plenty of hard work ahead of them.

“It’s been a great week,” the England Under-21 international told Sky Sports 1. “We’ve stuck together during this period and the results are now paying off but we’re not going get carried away. We’re gonna have to focus now on Liverpool away and make sure we get something there.”
