“I needed a sweaty one like that, to be honest,” he reflected. “Every striker wants to score goals and I’m really thankful to the fans. There’s been games where I’ve come on and they’re still singing my name and I haven’t even got my first goal yet. That really gave me a big push. I’m glad to get off the mark,” Akpom was quoted by twtd.
“When you haven’t made the impact that you wanted to, and you come on against QPR and Swansea and they’re singing your name, I feel like that’s amazing support and it gives me more of a lift.
“Even today they were singing it again. It makes you want to give that extra 10 per cent, especially when they’re travelling to places like Hull.
“Thank you to all of you guys that are doing it and I appreciate it a lot.”
