Youssouf Mulumbu was delighted for Graham Dorrans after his wonder strike earned West Bromwich Albion victory over QPR.
Mulumbu relishing an extended run with Dorrans in the middle of the park.
"I used to play a lot with him in the Championship and we had a good partnership," he told the Albion website.
"He's a very good, skilful footballer and it was easy for me to play next to him today. We have a good understanding and he makes it easy for me to find a pass. I think it was really good for him to score today.
"He hasn't played a lot of games this year and it was important for his confidence that he scored.
"I hope now he will play more games.
"And I hope now we can finish in the top half of the table as we no longer have to look over our shoulders."
