Akeel Higgins says he is still having to pinch himself about his first Exeter City goal.
The 20-year-old forward, who is on loan at St James Park from West Bromwich Albion, got Exeter’s second in their 2-0 win over arch-rivals Plymouth Argyle in October.
The second-half strike was Higgins’ first goal in senior football and saw the Grecians win a Devon derby for the first time since 2019.
“It was a very special day for the club. We all knew how important it was to get the three points from that game,” he told BBC Radio Devon.
“I haven’t really played in a derby before, but I know derbies are a bit special and to get the goal as my first senior goal, was the best thing that’s happened to me so far.
“I’ve watched that goal over 100 times, it was good finish to be fair.
“I personally think I didn’t really play that well in the game, but obviously to get the goal, just help the team out, it’s the most important thing at the end of the day.”
