West Bromwich Albion forward Saido Berahino has played up the instant impact of new boss Tony Pulis after his side recorded an emphatic 7-0 victory over Gatehshead in the FA Cup.

The Baggies striker found the net four times at The Hawthorns and afterwards stated that their new coach has already put his stamp on the club, despite his limited time in the Midlands.

"Gateshead started really bright in the first 20 minutes and passed really well, tried to play, but once we scored the first, we were confident we could get more. We wanted to kill the game off as soon as possible," said Berahino, according to BBC Sport.

"Tony Pulis is a big character and has put his stamp on the club already, you could see that the lads were getting stuck in for him today and it is great to see us get seven goals for him today."

A number of clubs are rumoured to be interested in the services of Berahino, who is thought to be valued in the £20m region by West Brom.
