Robbie Keane insisted he was right to follow his dream and leave Tottenham after finally breaking his duck for his boyhood heroes Liverpool last night.
Keane quit White Hart Lane for Anfield in a £20m transfer in July after telling manager Juande Ramos that he had always wanted to play for Liverpool since he was a football-mad boy in Dublin.
He has been under intense pressure ever since, having gone 10 games without scoring. But he got off the mark with the second goal in a 3-1 Champions League victory over PSV.
Keane said: 'I knew I was making the right move, I always knew it was right for me. This is why I came to Liverpool for games like this and to be challenging for the big honours.
'Since I've come here everyone at the whole club has been great to me. The fans have been fantastic and hopefully I've paid them back a little bit now.
'It's nice to get the first one out of the way because it stops people talking about it. That's been the annoying thing because as a player I don't worry about it. I know I'll score goals and I don't get myself down about it when it doesn't happen. But now I'm getting more confident every game and I know more goals will come.'
Keane's strike came after 34 minutes at Anfield, when Fernando Torres burst down the right to send over a low cross for his team-mate to sweep home first time.
'It was a nice ball by Fernando and I caught it first time and, luckily enough, it went in,' said Keane, who has also helped Liverpool to the top of the Premiership.
'It's been a great start for the team this season. We can't count our chickens but at Liverpool we're looking to win trophies.'
Last night's match also featured an opening goal from Dirk Kuyt and a late free-kick from Steven Gerrard - which was the 100th goal of his Liverpool career.
Keane said: 'It's great for Stevie, what he's done for this club is unbelievable. I'm glad he scored because I know what it's like being sorry9.
'I was in the same situation last year at Spurs, with everybody talking about getting my 100th and it took a while to come. So it's nice to get it out of the way.'
