The first half had been frustrating, so it was Dom who made the second half performance and result all the more pleasing. “Yes, of course,” he said. “I think games like today show what we can do. There have been matches, like last weekend (at Palace), where we lost a goal, and we can’t really turn the situation around, which is frustrating because we know we can. At halftime today we know…everyone was saying we could go out there and score three, four goals – and that’s what we did.

When asked if his goals were a reward for all his selfless work for the team in every game, he added: “Yes, it is. Obviously, I like to work hard for the team. We have to do everything we can individually to help the team win. Obviously, as a striker, it’s good that these goals add to the performances.
