Leicester City loanee Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall describes last-minute winner for Blackpool as 'best feeling' of his career so far

The 21-year-old powered home a back-post shot into the roof of the net in the 89th-minute to hand the Seasiders all three points at Bloomfield Road last night.

It sparked wild scenes of celebration among the home faithful, Dewsbury-Hall and co embracing the supporters at the bottom of the North Stand.

“It’s a fantastic feeling, it’s probably the best feeling I’ve had in football so far to win it late on like that and for all the fans to celebrate with us," Dewsbury-Hall said.

“I didn’t even know what to do, I didn’t know how to celebrate. I just thought ‘you know what, I’m going to turn around and look at every fan that was going crazy’.

“I wanted to enjoy that moment because we knew it was going to be the winning moment for us and it was a long-awaited win that we’ve been waiting for.

“It’s such an important victory for us and hopefully we can build on it now.

“The touch was the thing that set it up, because it put it right into my path. I just thought ‘you know what, I’m going to hit this as hard as I can’ and luckily it went straight into the roof of the net.

“I was well happy.”

The Seasiders ought to have had the game wrapped up in the first half where they delivered a dominant display.

Dewsbury-Hall helped set up Pool's opener, passing the ball for Connor Ronan to thunder home a 30-yard wonderstrike.

But Bolton grew into the game in the second half and appeared to have snatched a point in the 87th minute when Kean Bryan prodded home at the back post.

While Dewsbury-Hall's goal ultimately made it a happy night for the men in tangerine, the on-loan Leicester City man knows there are still improvements to be made.

“First half we were completely dominant," the midfielder said.

“We were stringing a lot of passes together and opening them up all the time.

“I thought in the second half we dropped too deep to try and protect the lead and that’s something we need to work on.

“When we get in front we need to try and get the second and third goal instead of trying to protect the lead.

“That was something that wasn’t quite as good in the second half but we can still take a lot of things out of the first half into the next game.”
