Blackburn defender Christopher Samba has labelled his goal against Tottenham on Sunday as the best and most important he has scored, and hopes the victory will serve as an important point from which his side can kick on for a top-six finish.
The centre back struck deep into injury time to clinch a 2-1 win for Rovers at White Hart Lane as Spurs slumped to their sixth defeat of the season, having led from the penalty spot.
"I was always confident it was going in, because I think the goalkeeper saw the ball late, so I'm delighted to score my first goal of the season,' Samba told Rovers' official website.
"I've scored a few goals with my head but never such an important goal, so for the moment it is the best goal I've ever scored. I hope this goal will be the first of many this season, because I've had a lot of chances. I've been putting in extra practice every day after training, so I hope things can click for me from now.'
Samba says the win has galvanised team morale at Ewood Park, and he is looking forward to the challenge Mark Hughes' side face to stay in contention for a European spot come the end of the season.
"Our objective is to stay in the top six in the league, so it was a big game for us and a massive win, especially with three hard games just around the corner,' he added.
"That's now six wins in a row, so there's great spirit in the team and everyone is motivated to improve and keeping it going."
