Wigan striker Rodallega enjoying Premiership experience

Wigan Athletic favourite Hugo Rodallega is enjoying his time in England.

Rodallega's cracker against Liverpool was his eighth of the season but his first since Boxing Day.

That ended a 12-match drought for the hitman who cost £4.5million from Mexican club Necaxa 15 months ago.

He added: "To score against Liverpool was just the best as far as I was concerned.

"My challenge is to score in each match but it is so competitive here in England that it's not easy if you are not at one of the big clubs.

"It was a frustrating to go 12 matches without a goal but things change and I am happy if the goals I do get win us decisive points.

"I don't have a fixed number of goals in mind for the season but to beat, say 12, will be excellent.

"It is normal that Didier Drogba, Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres will score more goals than that for their teams. But I do not wish to be compared to these superstars."
