“It was a great goal,” said Koeman. “His first touch on his chest and his finish with his right foot was great. It was a perfect goal.

“Everybody knows it was a difficult situation for him and it’s all about taking your chance when you get an opportunity and he showed tonight that he’s part of the team. Finally, you pick the player up and you put the players in the team who deserve it and who give that confidence to the team maybe in a difficult time or difficult moment.

“Maybe he doesn’t feel that pressure and that makes him even more dangerous for opponents.”
 
He seems like he can be one of those players who just has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Not much footballing ability but you just know it will drop to them in the 6 yard box.

Get him on the bench and if we are losing with half an hour to go, throw him on

Hmmm. Maybe softened his stance there then. Interesting to see if he gets a place on the bench in next couple of games.

I found the "put players in the team who give confidence to the team in a difficult time or moment" sentance very interesting.

Considering what he's been through, he must have one of, if not the strongest mentality at the club. That is exactly what we have lacked the last couple of weeks.
 

Was a really good goal, I don't think any doubters can deny the quality of the goal.

Not sure on how the rest of his contribution was due to not being able to watch the game but if he scores on his comeback game hopefully he'll be given more chances and bag more goals
