Everton fullback Vitalii Mykolenko was proud to score in victory at Leicester City on Sunday.
The 22-year-old set Everton on the road to victory with a stunning early volley at King Power Stadium, becoming the first Ukrainian to score for the Blues in the process.
"Me scoring is not important," he told evertonfc.com. "The most important thing, by far, was three points for us. The game was very difficult, but we come out of it with the win and that's what makes me happiest.
"All that matters in the remaining games is picking up wins. It is not important who we play.
"We need three points every game - and that is what we will be aiming for.
"When [my] goal went in, everybody came to me and that makes me happy because that also gives me great confidence. It was a great feeling and I am very happy to celebrate the moment with my teammates.
"And the fans... Wow. Our fans are always brilliant - at home, away... It doesn't matter where we play, they are always brilliant.
"I want to thank the fans a lot.
"I love them."
Mykolenko also highlighted the role manager Frank Lampard has played in his impressive adaptation to Premier League football.
"With every game, I feel more and more confident," he continued.
"The manager has given me great confidence, particularly during the breaks between games when we've had chance to work on the training pitch.
"I had conversations with him and afterwards, I felt myself growing in confidence more and more."
