“And we’re very pleased to be joined by Sonny. Sonny, well done, home debut in the Premier League and a winning goal. It doesn’t get better than that, does it?”

“Crystal Palace, a good team aren’t they and this was a good win for us wasn’t it?”
“Of course they have a very good team, good attack, a very very good squad. Very very hard work for us and yeah, because we want to win this game. Every player worked really hard and yeah, amazing.”
“Tell us about your goal. It was a quick counterattack and a great finish.”
“Yeah Chris played to me very very good and it was quick — one against one against the center-back — and after I timed it, I put it on my left foot and I shoot it and I think it was really lucky.”
“Tell me what went through your head went it hit the back of the net.”
“Uhh, I don’t understand, say that again?”
“How did you feel when the ball hit the back of the net.”
