“Thank you so much for voting me for the Goal of the Month, it’s time for me to react to my Goal of the Month. A good cross from Canos, I was trying to go to the second post then the defender blocked me.
“Then I just saw the ball in my front, backheel, and I just went to celebrate. I am so excited about the goal.
“Crucial one point because we were losing 3-2 and this 88th minute goal gave us one point, I am so happy. Scoring this goal motivates you.”
