“The kids have been getting on my back a little bit because they’ve scored more goals than me this season and I’m chasing them a little bit!
“But no, it’s nice to get the record but to get the breakthrough and help the team get three points was more important.
“It was a nice moment and a patient professional performance, one hopefully the fans will go away having enjoyed.
