Mitoma’s exceptional control from Bart Verbruggen’s long pass has been a major talking point across the Premier League.
Mitoma told Japanese media: "In terms of quality, that was my best goal of the season.
"I was just focusing on the first touch. It was perfect."
"I was surprised myself. It's not something that I can pull off easily, but I'm glad we've been practising that move.”
