West Bromwich Albion's Darren Fletcher hails "top-class" Salomon Rondon

Darren Fletcher hails "fantastic" Salomon Rondon following West Bromwich Albion's 4-0 rout over Burnley.

West Bromwich Albion captain Darren Fletcher was full of praise for his teammate Salomon Rondon following an impressive performance in Monday night's victory over Burnley.

Both Fletcher and Rondon scored in a 4-0 rout at The Hawthorns, which has moved the club up to ninth in the Premier League table.

Matt Phillips and James Morrison also contributed to the scoreline as the Baggies recorded their best win of the season so far.

"[Rondon is] probably the focal point of everything we do," Fletcher told Sky Sports News. "He's having a fantastic season - he's big, strong, powerful and causes a lot of problems.

"There's times where he works and he doesn't get as much service but he's always willing to work for the team. I think he's a top-class striker. He's made for the Premier League.

"It gives you a great confidence boost to score early in the game. We wanted to be on the front foot and take the game to Burnley. In the second half we had to do a professional job and it wasn't pretty at times but you have to hold on and not give them any sort of hope."

The result marks the first time since August that West Brom have kept a clean sheet.
