West Brom pair have put dressing-room spat behind them, insists Mel

West Brom manager Pepe Mel is confident Baggies duo Saido Berahino and James Morrison have put their widely publicised dressing room spat behind them.

Reports had suggested Morrison hit his young team-mate following the dramatic 3-3 draw with Cardiff at the weekend.

But the Baggies pair met on Monday to clear the air over the incident, after 20-year-old striker Berahino reportedly refused to apologise for a mistake in the build-up to the Bluebirds’ stoppage-time equaliser.

"They solved the situation between themselves in a perfectly natural manner almost as if they were two brothers from the same family,” Mel said.

"Eighteen young sports players have come in disappointed, it's normal they would argue among themselves.

“After that it's normal to have a beer and forget about it. The players were disappointed they hadn't won the game for the supporters.

"I prefer to have players who are cross when they don't win rather than players who go home to watch television and are perfectly fine with that.

"I spoke to Saido - he perhaps seems to be more responsible than other people of his age and I told him that I trust him and trust that he will continue to work well.”

However, one thing Mel was disappointed about was that the incident had found its way into the public domain so quickly after the events occurred.

He added: "The dressing room is the home environment. If any news gets out, that is bad news for us. What happens in the dressing room, should stay in the dressing room. I hope we have a positive reaction from this at Norwich."

The club have declined to confirm whether either player had faced disciplinary action.
