Free-kicks are about 'confidence' - Irankunda

That effort followed a high-quality set-piece strike to open the scoring in the 1-1 draw at Swansea City the week before.

But for 19-year-old Irankunda, it was just another day in the office.

"I've done it before and I'm very happy to get the goal," he told BBC Radio 3CR.

"It's about the confidence to be able to step up for the team and be able to do it in the moment.
