Roman bags winner and leaves Clarets in ruins

ROMAN BEDNAR had double cause for celebration on Saturday. As if scoring the winning goal against Burnley was not enough, his manager Tony Mowbray confirmed that he will sign the Czech (pictured right) on a permanent deal at the end of the season.

Bednar, currently on loan from Hearts, struck on the hour to seal a 2-1 home win against the Clarets and Baggies boss Tony Mowbray is delighted arrangements are already in place to make sure the striker has a long stay at The Hawthorns.

“Roman is a typical centre forward. He is big, strong, fast and brave,” Mowbray said. “We are delighted he is here and delighted that he keeps scoring goals for us.
