Nathan Tella scored a brace before Lyle Foster came off the bench to score his first goal for the club, to huge elations from the supporters and his teammates.

“I just remember coming on, I had a chance earlier on and shot, it just went a bit wide, and I was kind of thinking to myself when would the first one come.” The striker told the club media.

“I saw Anass play the ball over to Oba [Obafemi] and it dropped nicely, and I just thought I’d meet it as hard as I could and luckily for me it went in the back of the net. So, yes, I’m very happy to get the first goal but this is just the start and I need to work hard to continue pushing for more.

“I felt pure joy, finally happy that it went in, happy to celebrate with the crowd at Turf Moor and feel the love and joy from my teammates, so perfect, perfect day for me.” He spoke.

After the match ended, he was able to speak and celebrate with his loved ones.

“I’ve spoken to my girlfriend and my mother, my sister and my dad’s in the stadium so a lovely day again to share this moment with him. The rest of my family and friends back home were watching the game as well so yeah, a good day for me, a really good day.” He added.
