He later remarked: "I'm very happy with the team's victory. They were very tough opponents, and I'm delighted with the three goals.
"For the second goal, I waited for them to make a run so I could dribble past them, and then the shot... well, one of them had to go in.
"People expect me to score 100 goals at 16... I wasn't feeling well, the pubalgia was severe, I wasn't happy, it showed. I've been feeling better for a week, I smile while I play, I'm happy to play.
Regarding whether he was at his best, he responded: "I don't know, you tell me. I told Flick to wait until I scored the third goal before substituting me."
