"Fulham are a good team and I think it was a good point," said the 20-year-old in The Lancashire Telegraph. "It was very important. The game wasn't at home, it was a difficult game. "Arsenal is a good game but I think we must work hard and I think we can win the game. They are a great team but we have many good players and a good team. I think we can win. "Next weekend I will try for that, and the other players the same."

Great moment

Reflecting on his goal against Fulham, the Spaniard stated: "It was a great moment. "I think it was the best moment since I arrived here, but the most important was the one point for the team. I think the team go up little by little. "I think it is not my best moment, I think I go little by little for my best fitness. It is my third goal but the important thing is the team play good and win the games." Rovers are at the foot of the league standings with just one point from four matches.
