In a post-game interview, the veteran player described scoring his first league goal for Leicester as a special moment and added that,
“Special moment because it was obviously my first goal for the club in the league and it took a bit of time but I have belief in myself, I have belief in my abilities and I know that I can bring in a lot of things…and I’m happy for them as well (fans) and happy for myself and family as well.”
