Sheyi Ojo, who posted a Man-of-the-Match display for English Championship side Cardiff City with a goal and an assist in a 4-0 win over Luton Town at the weekend, has expressed happiness with the big home win.
“I was happy to score, but the most important thing is helping the team. Credit to Sparky, he got the second goal for us, which I got the assist for, but we both know the important thing is that we got the big win and that we played as a team,” Ojo celebrated.
“It’s a massive win for us, especially being at home.
“We knew what we needed to do. We needed to start fast and get back to playing how we think we can play, which we managed to do. Obviously, we scored early which helped, and then we sort of grew into the game. By the end, we probably could have scored a few more.”
The Liverpool FC loanee also commended the manager for doing great job and said his team mates deserved to celebrate the big win.
“The manager has been great to us all, and to me individually as well. He’s been really honest with me, and said he wants me to just express myself,” he said.
“He’s given me the platform to do that, and that license to roam around the pitch to try and make things happen.
“I think it was important that we put their team under pressure early doors, and that we got the first goal. Once we got that first goal, we knew it was only a matter of time until we got chances to score, which we obviously managed to do. We dominated the game from there.
“We all deserve to celebrate this win, because we bounced back and made a positive reaction.
“We need to focus 100% on Tuesday’s game now. Going into the next couple of games that we’ve got in the next seven days, it’s important that we follow suit and stay consistent.”
Ojo has scored four goals thus far this season.
