Neal Maupay has revealed why did not celebrate his superb goal against Brentford.
The striker found the top corner against his old club to secure a 2-0 success at the Amex.
Maupay told Sky Sports: "They are the club who gave me my chance four years ago. Nobody wanted to sign me in France.
“They called me and asked me to come over to England.
“I didn’t know anything about England.
“I respect them so much. Everything they have done for me, everything they have done for a lot of players.”
Victory ended a run of 11 without a win, most of which have been drawn.
He added: “We haven’t won in a long time. Everyone was talking about it.
“It was a good performance overall from the team and we are really happy to get that win finally.
“I think it’s crucial for us. When you don’t win in a while people start talking.
“All of a sudden you’ve got a bit more pressure, even though we just tried to stay focussed on our goals.
“I think that will give us some rest.
