“Now scoring in the Premier League with my first touch in this game, it’s kind of unreal. I’m just happy. When I saw the ball bouncing I knew it was going to be tough, so I just hit it and luckily I hit it right. It was a great feeling.

“We were one man down, but I think I’m experienced enough to be able to come on and help the team in that situation.

“Even though I might not be 100% satisfied, I think I still did well and my goal was probably the most important thing about my performance.

“I personally feel that I never really got into the game – viewers might think different but you always have a personal level that you want to reach, and I don’t know that I really got it.”
