Stoke City striker Joselu is delighted to be off the mark.

The Spaniard hit the target for the first time by netting the third at Everton on Monday.

"The minutes are important," he told The Sentinel. "When a player has minutes under his belt he is in a better place to help the team.

"This is a busy month. The Everton game was very important for me because I played 33 minutes and scored my first goal.

"I feel very confident that I can help the team this month and for the rest of the season. It's a big month and I will always be ready to help the team."
