Valencia attacker Canos happy scoring in Copa win: Frank wouldn't let me shoot at Brentford!

Valencia attacker Sergi Canos was happy scoring in Sunday's Copa del Rey win against Cartagena.

The former Brentford ace joined Los Che earlier this season.

Canos said: "It's very important. It's always nice to score and the way it happened allowed us to start turning the scoreline around. We have to keep going. I have always had confidence in myself. It was a great goal and I'm very happy to have helped the team. I was at Brentford for 7 years and the coach there (Thomas Frank) wouldn't let me shoot from outside the box.

"I'm in the form where, since I have the freedom to play and Baraja and Chema reiterate that I should try from outside the area because they think I have a good shot, I am doing that. I'm very happy that things are working out for me and I will continue trying because I believe in myself a lot."

He added: All the goals are dedicated to my mother. It's been 11 months since she passed away. I also dedicate it to the fans, who have been spectacular and have made us have that extra strength to turn the scoreline around."
