Michael Bakare is delighted to be back on the goal trail at Chelmsford City after bagging a brace in the 6-0 demolition of Farnborough.
The excellent Bakare was a constant thorn in Farnborough's side with his pace and trickery, but both of his goals came from thumping headers.
He had three good chances to get his hat-trick but was twice denied by goalkeeper Ross Worner, although one of those saves fell to David Bridges to slot home the sixth.
And Bakare, back at the club where he was so successful last season, is thrilled with his form.
"I do feel a bit rusty but I was pleased," he told the Chronicle.
"All the boys are happy. The set-pieces were great - we always work on set-pieces and I'm glad to be back and scoring again.
"I know all the boys here and the manager, so I feel happy. I want to get promoted, I want to win things and that's why I'm here."
Manager Glenn Pennyfather was delighted with the performance of the man he brought back to the club earlier this month.
"I've tried to get him here all season – even in the summer I was trying to get him back because I know the boy will score goals," he said.
"He'll frustrate you at times because he's still learning his trade but he's got blistering pace and he'll get into positions to cause teams problems.
"He's got a hammer of a left foot and I know without a doubt that Michael Bakare will score goals at this level."
