Congrats on scoring last minute equalizer in all Welsh derby. What was the atmosphere like when that free kick flew in?

Yeah, it was incredible. I think the tension was building through the game. Obviously a a Welsh club versus another Welsh club first game of the season. So yeah, it was a fantastic atmosphere.

Talk us through your winning moment.

Yeah, so Joel's obviously gone down is really good at winning fouls and free kicks. Um we were all calling for a penalty, aimed for the top corner, unfortunately went in. So yeah, just ran off completely the feeling and yeah, next thing I know, everyone's around me, the manager, everyone. So yeah, it was a crazy feeling.

What was it like celebrating with the fans?

Yeah, it was crazy. One of them things you just don't really know what's going on. You're just going crazy like and obviously all the boys going mad there. It was an unbelievable unbelievable moment.

If a statue were made in your honor, what pose would it capture?

Probably when I was doing the calm thing and then was really not calm and ran straight in the crowd.

Was there any chance you were letting your brother Joel take the free kick?

We both practiced together and definitely not no.
