Ireland striker Aaron Connolly opened his Sunderland account during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Millwall.
Aaron Connolly revealed that relief was the overwhelming emotion as he opened his Sunderland account during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Millwall.
“It’s obviously disappointing conceding so late on, but listen, we gave it everything for 90-plus minutes and we’ve had a lot of changes in the line-up, but we fully expected to come and get three points,” he said. The former Brighton and Hull man was tempted to celebrate his goal by running the full length of the pitch to where the away fans were situated at The Den, but thought better of it.
“I want to contribute in any way I can. I would obviously like to have contributed to three points, but a point is a point and we are still right up there. So we’ve got to take the positives.” “I scored goals last year with limited starts, so hopefully I can do the same, maybe with more starts, who knows,” he said. “But I just want to score goals and contribute to points on the board for the team.
