“I think when he had his opportunity, the focus was on what he’s doing for the team. He’s sacrificing himself for the team, working hard for the team. This is what we need and want. Goals will come.

“What was important for us was we how can we create chances to allow him to be in a good opportunity to score. He was unlucky against Manchester United and in other games, but today he was in the right place, took his chance and scored. This is really good for him and the team, and hopefully there is more to come.”
