Terry Dixon had double reason to celebrate following West Ham United's 5-2 Barclays Premier Reserve League victory over Stoke City.
Dixon notched his maiden competitive goal for the Hammers before completing his first full 90 minutes for the club at Bishop's Stortford.
The 19-year-old, who is approaching full fitness after working his way back from a long-term knee injury, was understandably pleased with his night's work.
"It was a very good team performance," he told WHUTV. "We played really good football in the first half. We let it slip a bit at the start of the second half but we got it back and killed the game off, really."

While Dixon was happy with his own display, he also praised team-mates Kieron Dyer and Frank Nouble, who scored three goals and provided three assists between them.
It was striker-partner Nouble who laid on Dixon's goal, rolling the ball into his path on the edge of the penalty area.
"Kieron was different class. I hadn't really see him play but he made everybody calm down and play it simple. When you play it simple, the rest comes. We played good football in difficult conditions. When it's like that, you've got to keep it on the floor and keep playing. We had a little four in the middle of the park and we did well.
"I was pleased with my finish. I didn't really look. Frank played a decent ball back and I just cut it across the keeper. Frank played well. He's a big, strong lad and he just pins defenders for fun. I like playing with him. It's good."
Having come through the full game without any ill-effects, Dixon is gunning for more action in next Monday's reserve league fixture at Birmingham City.
After impressing in front of the watching Gianfranco Zola at Woodside Park, Dixon is also targeting a spot in the first-team squad.
"I was thinking that I didn't want Alex to take me off. I wanted to get through the whole 90 minutes and I did so I was chuffed with that.
"There's still a bit of work to do but I'm on the right road."
