Mel: Discord not ideal but can unite West Brom squad

West Bromwich Albion boss head Pepe Mel claims the recent bust-up between Saido Berahino and James Morrison has brought his squad together, reports Sky Sports. However, Albion responded to the negative headlines by picking up three vital points from a 1-0 win at Norwich City last Saturday.

"When we win it's very different," said Mel, who is now preparing for a home match against Tottenham this weekend.

"We have a big game this Saturday. The players know now that the only route is to be united. The problems made us more united.

"All of the players have really helped and gone in the same direction. The dressing room has shown itself to be very professional.

"I don't mind if there are fights if in the following match we win.

"Is it healthy? No, but it's something that's normal among players and young players who are ambitious.

"The most important thing is what happens on May 12. I'm certain West Brom will still be in the Premier League."
