Jeremy Sarmiento: West Brom match-winner reveals dad's advice led to goal at Cardiff

West Brom midfielder Jeremy Sarmiento admitted he had his dad to thank after scoring a spectacular winner for the Baggies against Cardiff City.

The Ecuador international struck early in the second half as Albion moved up to third in the Championship table.

It was his second for the club - but first since their 4-2 home victory over Middlesbrough in August.

"I heard my dad in the stands (tell me) to shoot," the 21-year-old loanee told BBC WM Sport.

"Since I was a little kid, my dad's always been on my side, trying to direct me what to do, and I literally heard him, so it was a great feeling.
