Viktor Gyokeres proved to be the matchwinner at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night, as we secured top spot at Christmas with a 1-0 success at Everton.<\/p>\n
Our striker hammered home from the penalty spot in the first half on Merseyside, following Jake O’Brien’s handball in the box, to hand us a big victory to kick off the festive period, and string successive wins together following the success against Wolves.<\/p>\n
Viktor reflected on how he feels about the importance of getting the win over the line, which maintains our position at the summit.<\/p>\n
“Good, of course. It was a tough win away from home, but we took the three points and it was nice to score a goal,” said the Swede, before delving into the decision-making behind the responsibility to step up from 12 yards.<\/p>\n
“We spoke a little bit on the pitch. It was an easy talk and then I took it. To be fair, a few months ago I took one, and it was nice to take one again and to score.<\/p>\n
“We don’t think about it too much, we just wait for the decision. Then you know it’s a penalty and you just wait for the normal procedure. Nothing special, really.”<\/p>\n
