“I am still very much confident that we can play in the Champions League next season but we must be very ruthless and be thoroughly focused in the remaining games.
“It’s great for me to score every week. I hope to keep this form so that it will yield something good for me at the end of the season. Hard work has really paid for me and I have shamed my critics.
