Stoke City winger Jermaine Pennant was delighted with his free-kick winner at West Ham United.
Pennant says he was prepared to push Robert Huth and Glenn Whelan out of the way to sink the free-kick which earned Stoke three points at West Ham.
"I'm delighted for the team and the fans. It's great to help in any way possible and as soon as that free-kick was given there was no-one else taking it apart from me," he told The Sentinel.
"When it left my boot I knew it was in. Sometimes you can tell. I connected with it well and it was nice to see the net ripple.
"It's a fresh start for me and, to be honest, I think it's a fresh start for everyone. It's a chance for everyone to enjoy their football and I'm certainly doing that.
"Three games are gone now and as more go by hopefully I can put myself right in the frame for selection. The Premier League hasn't seen the best from me, not yet."
