While Martin believes Archer was already impressing, he hopes the goal will drive him to even greater heights.

He stated to reporters: “I think it's going to be brilliant for him. I think the weight will be lifted because he's had a few chances to score before that. I think he's been really good for us, actually.

“In his short spell here, he's been a real threat. I think the chances he's had before the goal, probably only he gets because of the quality of his movement and the speed of his movement.

“He's improving all the time. I really love him as a boy. The willingness to work and want to get better. He wants to help the team.

“He just wants to, repetition after repetition and make a mistake, keep going, go again. And I think he's a brilliant signing for us. And I think that will help him. I think he'll score a lot for us.”
