I joked with Bryan [Mbeumo] and [Benjamin] Sesko, I told them I need to have this feeling [of scoring]. I felt so anxious to be a part of this and when I scored they said, 'Look you can enjoy it now' – I feel so good to be part of this. This is the club I grew up watching and to be here is a mix of sensations. To help them, it is my dream come true,” Cunha told BBC.
