"Very special, I’m over the moon with it,” said O’Reilly afterwards.

“This goal will be with me forever. The most important thing was the three points and that’s what we got. Erling’s been giving me a few tips!

“It’s such a good feeling. What an atmosphere it is and what a stadium it is, it’s so tough to  come and play here.

“We got three points, that’s the most important thing. I’m loving it, taking it all in my stride. Every game as it comes, working hard every session, I’m enjoying it and I’m loving it.

“The first few minutes I was a bit slow, I could have stopped the first goal, but I made up for it in the end.”
