Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun was delighted to score in their Europa League victory at Molde.

It marked his first goal at senior level.

"I'm feeling really happy, it shows that all the hard work I've put in over the years is just starting to pay off," Balogun told Arsenal.com. "It's important that I keep working hard to enjoy more moments like this.

"I didn't think that particular [break for the goal] was going to be my chance, but I always try to stay ready and I'm happy that on this occasion it paid off.

"It's been good [to be involved], it's nice to see the boss showing faith in me. It feels like this is good experience for me, I just need to keep on learning, keep on adding to my game and I'm happy that I could contribute today."
