Words from a tireless killer
“I’m hungry and I want to score a lot of goals. I feel in good shape. I’m often in the right place and I try to finish in the area,” said the striker post-match at the Friends Arena in Solna.

We had to win with a certain difference in goals and we did it. It was a good evening. It’s fun to score so many goals,” he added.
