"Yeah, it's always nice, as a striker you want to score in every game so whenever you've got something like this on your back you just want to get it off and score and move on," he said.

"Thankfully I scored and we won which is the most important thing and now we've got a big game next Monday night [against Manchester United]."

"We've got a good squad here, a lot of players fighting for places and that's what we've got to continue throughout the whole season.
