"Some people would think, 'Oh, he is going to miss it,' because I missed the first one but it wasn't never in my thoughts.
I knew that I was going to score and that is why I took it.
"Leo wanted it and Bissouma wanted Leo to take it but I knew I would score. We have a list and I was on the list and I was on the pitch."
Skipper Lewis Dunk added: "I said to him after he scored 'it takes big balls to do what you just did.'
