BERA POT OF GOLD

-

SAIDO BERAHINO brought the house down as he finally smashed his two-and-a-half year goal drought.

The £12million striker’s first halfgoal put David Wagner’s Premier League strugglers up against it before Juninho Bacuna’s spectacula­r stoppage-time own-goal sealed it.

It was smiles all round – and none bigger than Berahino’s – as he celebrated his 53rd-minute effort.

You could sense the relief of Berahino and the Stoke crowd as he headed home after James McClean’s shot came back off the bar.

It has been an agonising wait for the 25-year-old who had not scored since joining the Potters in January last year, as he ended a 47-match goalless streak.

Bacuna’s own-goal beat keeper Jonas Lossll who was racing back after going up for a last-gasp corner.
