The 23-year-old winger was at his usual best on Saturday in West Brom’s disappointing 1-1 draw against Brentford, but one moment of magic stuck in the minds of supporters on the day when the Sporting Lisbon loan star brilliantly chipped the ball over a Bees defender to tee Matt Phillips in the penalty area.
Is Matheus Pereira the best player in the Championship?
Yes
No
Although the 28-year-old attacker bottled that chance, the audacity of the skill from Pereira was met with plenty of praise from West Brom supporters on social media, who are beginning to run out of words to describe the youngster.
Here’s what West Brom fans had to say on Twitter about Pereira’s skill, with lots of supporters in awe of what the attacker is capable of doing with a football…
