Martijn Reuser was in celebratory mood after blazing his first goal of the season in Ipswich Town's thrill-a-minute 6-4 triumph against Crewe.

The Dutchman was on target with an unstoppable long-range effort in Saturday's memorable Nationwide League Division One goal fest.

Tommy Miller and Shefki Kuqi hit braces while Pablo Counago was also on target and Reuser told the Gazette: "It was a very special game to be involved in.

"It was unbelievable at times and I only wish I'd played for the whole 90 minutes.

"As it was, I had to be content with being a substitute but at least I got involved and scored my first goal of the season."

Reuser, wide on the right, fooled goalkeeper Clayton Ince with a swirling effort and said: "It was most definitely a shot and not a cross.

"I've been involved in a couple of questionable goals recently, against West Ham and Derby.

"Both of them were my shots which got deflected in but at least no-one can argue about this one."
