# West Bromwich Albion: Fans go wild over Matheus Pereira footage

**Plenty of West Brom fans have been lapping up footage of on-loan winger Matheus Pereira showing off his skills at home.**

The 24-year-old posted a video to his Twitter account [@MatheusPereira](https://twitter.com/MatheusPereira/status/1262448330942054401) which shows him drop-kicking a ball from the edge of his garden, with the ball changing direction upon bouncing off the grass and ending up perched inside a miniature goal net situated slightly front and left of the Baggies player, with the video captioned “Real or fake?”

The Brazilian forward, [on loan at the club](https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2019/august/pereira-signs-for-the-baggies/) from Sporting Lisbon, has excelled this season with [six goals and 16 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/matheus-pereira/leistungsdaten/spieler/225984), proving to be by far [Albion’s most creative influence](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-bromwich-albion/leistungsdaten/verein/984/reldata/%262019/plus/1) in the 2019/20 campaign. Also, his [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/175/Show/England-West-Bromwich-Albion) average match rating of 7.34 for the season is the highest of anyone in Slaven Bilic’s current squad.

Judging by the in-game performances of “magician” Pereira, these West Brom supporters on Twitter weren’t greatly surprised by his at-home video footage, with one fan exclaiming “Are you God” and another stating that “Ronaldo can only dream” of pulling off such skills.
