Liverpool midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251, let out his elation on scoring his first goals for the Reds against West Bromwich Albion in a Capital One Cup match on Wednesday.
The Turkish International, who is currently on a season-long loan at Anfield, fired a brace at the Hawthorns to help his side secure a comeback from behind win.
The victory, which was masterminded by a young team, sent the Merseyside outfit to the fourth round of the competition. There, they will square off against Swansea City.
The win on Wednesday came as a much needed boost for the Reds. After conceding early on in the game, Liverpool got level on terms through a peach of a goal from Sahin.
Sahin belted a ferocious 30-yard shot, which proved to be too much for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Foster-c7445 to keep out.
The 24-year old then went on to claim the clincher late on, tapping the ball in for an easy finish to seal an emphatic result for his team.
The midfielder was ecstatic after notching up his first http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 goals.
He was also impressed with the way his team fought their way back into the match despite trailing against a strong Baggies side, and feels that the win will serve to lift the current downbeat morale of the unit.
“It was very special for me to score my first goal for Liverpool and it was a proud moment,” he told the club’s official website.
“We played with a young side and they showed a lot of character, especially to come back from 1-0 down and they did very well.”
The Anfield side will next visit the Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in a Premier League game on Saturday.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonjo-Shelvey-c19081 currently serving out a three match suspension, Sahin is likely to feature in the starting line-up.
However, the Turkish footballer insisted that it was up to his manager to decide the playing-eleven. As far as he was concerned, he was just focused on delivering every time he gets the opportunity.
“I just want to help the team and give my best when I get the chance and hopefully we can get another victory on Saturday,” he added.
