Pavel Pogrebnyak: I didn’t know we aren’t supposed to celebrate with the fans
Fulham striker Pavel Pogrebnyak commented on his team’s 1-0 victory versus QPR, in which he scored the winning goal, his second in two games.
«That back-heel pass by Dembele was quality. Did you thank him for it?»
«Naturally. I ran up to him and said: ‘Great ball, haven’t gotten a pass like this for a long time.»
«When you rounded the keeper, it looked too easy from the stands…»
«I intended to shoot immediately, but he rushed out and I wasn’t sure I’d score. But then I went round him, he fell on the ground and I couldn’t miss.»
«You got booked after scoring, didn’t you?»
«I didn’t know we are not supposed to celebrate with the fans,» the Russian forward told Sport-Express.
