364 days after suffering an ACL injury, Demetri Mitchell returned to score the winner at Bristol Rovers, and gave his thoughts post-match.

Mitchell lashed home Vince Harper's delivery to secure top spot in Group G at the Memorial Stadium, following up goals from Jay Bird and Milli Alli.

 

"The supporters have been with me since day one, spurring me on to get back fit, and I want to replay the faith to the club, the manager and the fans."

"It feels surreal, really. It was a really difficult time for me and I've had a few little niggles along the way. I knew I had to get back and I'm so pleased to be back.

"The manager told me to go out and enjoy myself and express myself. I always had his full backing since the day I got here. I know I've been out a bit longer than expected but I just want to repay the faith now."
