Berahino had to fight Stoke teammate Shaqiri over missed penalty chance

Stoke striker Saido Berahino will not shy away from taking another penalty, despite missing four in a row since he last scored a goal and saying he had "to fight" teammate Xherdan Shaqiri to take his missed penalty against Southampton.

The 24-year-old had a great opportunity to end his long goalless drought when he won a first-half penalty against Saints on Saturday only to see Fraser Forster keep his effort out in a game that saw Peter Crouch score a late winner to seal a 2-1 victory.

It is now 32 games without netting for Berahino, a run that dates back to his West Brom days, and the barren spell has included a quartet of spot-kick failures.
