This is the reward of all my hard work, but also a sign of encouragement that I can still get better. I know that I am capable.
I'm having a great night. I'm very hopeful that we will win the Premiership and I hope we do well against Wigan this weekend.
I'm a very lucky player. In three years my life has changed. I was on the bench in the second division and step by step, year after year, I worked and I know where I want to be and I enjoy my life. I think this is the best year of my life.
I've had one month's holiday and I'm fresh now.
We promised you that our victory would bring back peace to our country.
I was a bit tired in this game, so I was happy to get a penalty. I'll be stronger in the next matches.
We played very well together. We both scored and it was fantastic for the confidence. It is easier for me when I have someone to play behind me or with me.
Unfortunately in the emotion of winning the game my comments have come across partly in the wrong way. I want to make clear that I don't dive.
