GUYLAIN Ndumbu-Nsungu insists he felt no pressure when he stepped up to take the 93rd minute penalty which salvaged a draw for Darlington on Saturday.

His injury time spot-kick rescued a deserved point against Rushden and Diamonds, and went some way to atoning for wasting a great opportunity to save a point at Macclesfield a week earlier.

The Congo-born striker has now scored six this season, three of them penalties - the others at Grimsby and Kidderminster in the LDV Vans Trophy - and he said: "It was important to score, especially after losing last week. But we deserved to win on Saturday.

"I wasn't nervous because I practise in training twice a week so I am always confident I will score penalties.

"I don't always kick it to the left, I was going to put it to the right but I changed my mind at the last second.

"Sometimes Ryan Valentine wants to take the penalties but I like to take them, I am always confident of scoring.

"I want to score ten by the end of December, then after that we will see what's next. That is the end of my contract so I think ten goals would not be bad.

"I should have passed last week (against Macclesfield) because someone in the middle could have scored but there was only one minute left and the first thing I thought was to shoot. It was a bad decision.

"The manager said I should have passed. But I am a striker and it is my instinct to shoot.

"But I made up for it on Saturday. I had a chance in the first half but the defender stopped it on the line."

Ndumbu-Nsungu has already served a one match suspension this season for reaching five bookings, three of which were for removing his shirt after scoring.

He is one of 12 players featured in the revealing Darlo Uncovered calendar but after scoring on Saturday he remembered to keep his kit on.

He said: "I don't want to be get in trouble again!

"It is something I like to do when I score but now you get booked for it and the manager said to me 'keep on scoring goals but keep your shirt on'."
