For the third time this season, Jerome Akor was the match winner for Norwegian club Lillestrom in a seven-goal thriller and the striker praised team spirit for the Derby win.

He not only snatched the winning goal deep into stoppage time at local rivals Valerenga, but also scored a brace and delivered an assist.
“All credit to the group and the character we showed,” he said after another remarkable come-from-behind win by his club.
“To come back from 3-1 down and win 3-4… well, you watched the game so you know.
“I remember more of the celebration than the goal itself.”
Akor, 23, has now scored four goals in as many matches in the new season and Lillestrom have shot to second place in the standings with nine points, a point behind defending champions Bodo/Glimt.
Last season, the former Flying Eagles striker netted eight goals in his first season in the Norwegian top league despite missing several weeks after shoulder surgery.
