He told the club's official website: "(Sebastian) Larsson crossed the ball and (Nicklas) Bendtner flicked - I shot and it went to the back of the net, I think it was fortunate. "

"This goal gives me confidence that I can score in the Premier League.

"I am happy to score but I wish we (the team) had got some points from the match."
