“I am delighted for this moment. When they scored from the set piece I wasn't happy.

“I am very picky, in my head. In the second half I had a good mentality and was very strong. To get the three points was very important and to score the goal for me was important too.

“It (the goal) was for family, fans and all those people who helped me a lot through my injury. Now I am back and the next game at home is very important for us."
