Zavon Hines had double reason to celebrate on Wednesday evening after scoring West Ham United's winning goal and his first in the Barclays Premier League.
Hines struck deep in to added time to secure a vital 2-1 win over Aston Villa after Mark Noble's first-half penalty had been cancelled out by Ashley Young. The goal, unsurprisingly, cued wild celebrations from Hines, his team-mates and the vast majority of the Boleyn Ground crowd.
In typically modest fashion, Hines played down his dramatic intervention.
"I am delighted. It's my first Premier League goal so it's a good feeling to get started," Hines said. "Everyone is buzzing to get that first home win.
"I'm not a superstar, it's all about the team. I'm just really glad we got the win."
The England Under-21 international was sent on after just 32 minutes as a replacement for Carlton Cole and was a constant thorn in the side of the Aston Villa defence. He had gone close with two efforts just minutes earlier before he collected Scott Parker's pass and calmly lofted the ball over Brad Friedel into the far corner of the net.
"The manager told me to go and do what I can do and that's what I did. It's just such a good feeling to get the win."
Although Hines and his team-mates would have enjoyed their evening last night, their focus on Thursday morning immediately switched to their second home game in four days as Everton visit the Boleyn Ground on Sunday.
