"I think the first one was probably better, it was on my weaker foot and it was a good finish," said James after the game.

"The ball came to me in the box and I was going to take it first time but I decided to take a touch and it opened up on my left, so I cut inside and took it on my left foot.

"The strike was good, as soon as it left my foot I knew it was a goal.

"The second one was easier, the goalie wasn't really in the goal. It was almost an empty goal so I just put my foot through it!"
