Phillips: Scoring on Blackpool debut unbelievable

Matt Phillips hopes for more action with Blackpool after his goal scoring debut in defeat to Blackburn Rovers.

Phillips described his first Premier League goal as "unbelievable".

He told the Blackpool Gazette: "It was a dream coming on. Luke Varney played the ball through. My first touch was to control it and I scored with my second. Every kid dreams of scoring in the Premier League and to make your mark is massive. I watched Match of the Day and all the highlights programmes.

"When the gaffer told me to get changed and go on I was buzzing. I've been here a few weeks but that was my first game.

"I didn't make the bench at Chelsea, so to go from that to coming on and scoring a Premier League goal feels unbelievable."
