‘Real talent’: Some West Brom fans laud Matheus Pereira after Arsenal showcase

Some West Bromwich Albion fans have been lauding Matheus Pereira following his showcas🐠e performance in their side’s 3-1 defeat at Arsenal💙 on Sunday night.

The result back to the Championship with three games still to play, though Pereira offered some hope of delaying the drop꧒ midway through the꧟ second half.

After curling a shot narrowly wide of the post early in the opening period, Pereira sparked life into Sam Allardyce’s side with an excellent dr🔴iving run before penning his of the Premier League season with a tidy finish drilled past Bernd Leno.

Willian would restore the Gunners’ two-goal advantage not long after with a precise free-kick into the top corner of Sam Johnstone’s net, but Pereira had impressed a raft of꧋ Baggies fans with some now fearing his potential summer exit.
