Not only was James Crole "over the moon" with his first football league goal, it is one which could prove crucial in Newport County's quest for League Two survival.

Crole struck in the 83rd minute as County came from behind to beat play-off chasing Barnet 2-1.
The result lifted Christian Fuchs' side out of the relegation zone into 21st and two points above the relegation zone.
Former Penybont striker Crole, 22, joined County in January, along with winger Tanatswa Nyakuhwa, who set up his goal at Hive Stadium.
"I'm relieved in all honesty because I haven't done as well as I would have liked in my first few games," said Crole.
"Today (Saturday) I came on and made an impact, I was a nuisance, I obviously got my goal which is what I'm here to do.
"I've dreamed about the moment 100 times and it couldn't have really got much better, in front of the fans.
"I'm hoping now I can kick on and take some momentum into the next couple of games and do well for the rest of the season."
County have nine games left to secure their football league status for another season, starting with the visit of leaders Bromley to Rodney Parade on Tuesday (19:30 GMT).
"This team is capable of beating anyone in the league," said Crole.
"We'll go into every game with a mindset of 'we can win' and that won't change against Bromely.
"The belief is there. Every game we show fight, willing and desire, especially in that second half [against Barnet].
"We're out of the bottom two, now we can start looking up rather than down."
