Fantastic today. Especially impressive as he got no help at all from Berahino who was awful.

His confidence grows every game

Really pleased that he's starting to show what we paid big money for  :)

7 goals now, 9 games to go, I think he can hit double figure by the end of season, well done Salomon.

Just shows that a bit of patience helps at times. Too much expectation and demands of immediate impact these days

Could have chosen to hide a bit after a few tussles with Smalling but never stopped showing for the ball and was pretty immense.
Nice to see Lambert giving him a hug going down the tunnel - he seems popular with the others in the squad.

Whilst Saido's game was a bit off today,  this pair are a real handful for opposition defenders. Crucially, it gives them something to really think about, and it gives us a real outlet especially with Fletcher pushing further upfield.

Delighted for Rondon in particular.  He really looks like he is now enjoying his football.

I think that's another thing that having Saido in there brings us.   It helps take the focus off Rondon, if we were only playing one up top today, Smalling would have had Rondon in his pocket.  Now with those two and Sess (I think it might actually be impossible to tackle Sess), we can occupy their defensive players giving Fletch and Garner time to get forward.

If Rondon keeps playing like he did today, then we are very likely to see some serious bids coming in for him in the summer!

In all seriousness, Berahino will be gone and we need to spend wisely to replace him.  Who do we think would be ideal (and realistic) to buy to play alongside Rondon?

I've said all season that he looks a good player but he has been starved of anything resembling decent service (imagine Olsson hoiking 50 yard passes in your general vicinity all season) but not many agreed with me.

Shocking how we start playing to his strengths and he looks a world beater. The reputation he has in South America in an awful Venezuela side speaks volumes

Ideally think we would get the best out of him as the central player in a front 3 I am not necessarily suggesting Naismith but that is the sort of player that I would be looking to try and bring in.

Good to see him getting the all round recognition he deserves.

I think a few of us have seen he has the potential, as well as his past record, which speaks for itself.

Yet some on here, only a few weeks ago called him 'utter garbage' as well as saying that 'a dead corpse offers more'.

If that's the case, let's hope we sign a few more garbage players who play as well as a dead corpse would.

He will get past 10 for the season, not bad in a team that has played in the style we have for most of it.

I always thought he looks a good player,the way he looks around him when he receives the ball and he's a goalscorer will become a legend,I like his mean streak as well.
HE LEAPS LIKE A SALAMON!

The change in the last few weeks has been quite remarkable. I was one who was starting to have doubts about him but since the shackles have been released he has been really impressive. He doesn't appear to be shrugged off the ball easily anymore and he's a better footballer than many give him credit for. Hopefully this spell continues for a while longer yet because with the way we play its vital we have someone who can hold up the ball and bring others into play.

Superb performance from Rondon, gave his absolute all, if Berahino has put in half as much effort yesterday we may have scored a few more

Possibly slightly harsh on Berahino. They clearly picked him as the one to mark and press which gave rondon options up the pitch. It was too late by the time they realised Rondon was the threat.

Berahino put a fair old shift in, he was closing players down when we didn't have the ball and he was also making runs to give Rondon space.  A game or two ago Berahino ran the most out of all the players on the pitch and made the most sprints.

Seemed quite the opposite for some reason yesterday to the point an exasperated Rondon, spread his arms apart to the static Berahino as if to ask what he was playing at.

If it's the time I was thinking of he was asking the ref for a free kick. Rondon and bera get on very well. Bera was poor by his standards but I think his work rate was still high enough.

Rondon was outstanding yesterday. I thought it was the best all round performance from an Albion "number 9" for years. We have an absolute diamond in him and now he's settled and gt a bit of support he looks a proper striker.

Berahino wasn't at his best yesterday but nobody plays well every single game.

Over the last few weeks we're actually looking a decent side and the football we're playing is nowhere near as bad as some like to make out.

Pulis is doing a grand job and us fans should be feeling pretty happy right now.

Leicester fans are also talking about people like Griezmann  :o

Then in the next breath saying Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain are not good enough for them

Im starting to dislike them now after willing them all season, I hope they get knocked off their perches finish in 4th, get champions league, go out in the qualifiers and have a dreadful season next year

I said the big boys. I'll be surprised if they can replicate next year what they have done this year.
They could be back to earth next season
