Ghana-bound striker Eddie Nketiah was pleased with his goal in Crystal Palace’s Europa Conference League win at Shelbourne.
The striker struck as Palace won 3-0 on Thursday night.
Nketiah told TNT Sport: “It’s always nice to get on the scoresheet, and it’s always nice to get a win. It was really good from the boys.
“I think we started really strong, which was important. We’re happy to get the three points and obviously it’s nice to get on the scoresheet.
“I’m just blessed, I thank God for being able to be back on the pitch. I obviously had a small injury this season, so I’m really grateful to be back out there. I love to score goals. Whether it’s a tap-in or a screamer, I’m just happy to be scoring goals and winning games.
“I’m getting closer. With every minute I play, I’m getting sharper and sharper and feeling more like myself. I just want to keep going, keep working hard, keep improving. I know I trust in my colleagues. If I get opportunities, I’m sure I’ll help the team.”
He added, “I think we’re in a good run at the moment. Listen to the fans here, they’re excellent! We’ve just got to keep going and keep pushing.
“We have to keep believing. With God, anything is possible. If we keep working hard how we are, we’ve got a chance.
“We want to go all the way in this competition. It’s a lovely competition and a great trophy. Hopefully we can be lifting it, and enjoying it with the fans at the end of the season.”
