West Bromwich Albion manager Carlos Corberan has praised a solid all-round display of Daryl Dike, whose quick-fire brace swept aside Middlesbrough in the English Championship.
Dike scored his double Saturday within the first 10 minutes to keep West Brom surge up the standings.
“I value a lot his defensive commitment today, as much as his goals – because goals are key to win football matches – that he scored,” Corberan explained.
“We know as strikers, playmakers and wingers have responsibilities to score goals, because many times they are going to finish the chances we create – and the team have responsibility to create chances.
“For the striker it’s important to increase his confidence by scoring goals, but for me I reward more the football that he was doing at the same level that I reward his goals.”
Dike has overcome a long-term injury to now net five goals in the Championship this season.
