00:00Congratulations, Oli. Your life's never going to be the same again.
00:04Can you talk us through that moment and how you're feeling?
00:08Lost for words, really. I was just trying to describe it to Andy there.
00:13When you score, there's emotions that come through your body,
00:18but this is just a different feeling.
00:21It was slow motion when I was running over to the boys and celebrating.
00:24I didn't want to get off the pitch at the end because I just wanted to soak it all in,
00:29because it doesn't happen often, obviously.
00:31The ball's coming to me. Obviously that's not the strongest side of my game, the hold-up play.
00:36But the goal is my bread and butter, running in behind and causing the defence trouble.
00:43I said to Cole that we were both going to go on the pitch and he was going to set me up at half-time.
00:49And it happened. I manifested it.
00:53As soon as he turned, I knew to make the move.
00:58You don't get that opportunity very often, so I had to be greedy.
01:02I had to take it and I've just seen it go into the bottom corner.
01:06I don't think I've hit a ball that sweet before, obviously in such a special moment as well.
