Jonjo Shelvey today spoke of his joy after netting a wonder goal on his Blackpool debut during the 5-0 thumping of Bristol City.

The on-loan Liverpool midfielder found the net with a fantastic 35-yard free-kick and he played a pivotal role in the victory.

Speaking about his goal, Shelvey told Blackpool's official website: "I just thought I'm going to smash it and see what happens. It came off nicely and started spinning away from the keeper so it was a good goal for me personally.

"The manager has told me to go and express myself and for a player in my position that's what I like to do."

The 19-year-old midfielder admitted he spoke to former Blackpool captain Charlie Adam about his move to Bloomfield Road.

He added: "Charlie mentioned about how passionate the fans are and it has given me thrills to come out and play again. I can't wait to play in front of them again.

"It was a perfect day for me. I had my family in the stands and I capped it off with a great goal."
