Viktor Gyokeres celebrates his goal at EvertonViktor Gyokeres proved to be the match-winner at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday night, as we secured top spot at Christmas with a 1-0 success at Everton.
Our striker hammered home from the penalty spot in the first half on Merseyside, following Jake O'Brien's handball in the box.
Viktor reflected on how he feels about the importance of getting the win over the line, which maintains our position at the summit.
"Good, of course. It was a tough win away from home, but we took the three points and it was nice to score a goal," said the Swede, before delving into the decision-making behind the responsibility to step up from 12 yards.
