Ten Hag said: "Very pleasing that a player who is a striker scores his first goal in is first game, that will give him confidence, very pleased that it’s happened.

"The comparison with last year and Rasmus Hojlund and when he scored against Brighton and the VAR looked and five minutes later came to the conclusion the ball crossed the line in the assist and he had to wait thee months for first Premier League goal.

"It gives him confidence and gives us confidence as a team."
