Speaking on his goal, Ejuke told CSKA Moscow's official YouTube channel : "I got a pass from Sigurdsson, at that point in time what I had in my head was to just shoot the ball because we have been playing, creating chances and we haven't scored.
"At that point I was thinking about the goal and luckily for me I shot the ball and it went in.
"At the end of the day it was good that we had the goal, it was good for the team and for me as well because I needed to score."
