Under pressure Orlando Pirates striker Yanela Mbuthuma thrilled at finally scoring for the club

Yanela Mbuthuma is a happy man.

The Orlando Pirates striker's source of joy is scoring a brace last night in Pirates' 4-0 win over Kruger United in a PSL match at Mbombela Stadium.

“I’m very happy for the support that I’ve been getting from the fans. It’s actually not that really hard to be a striker. You don’t need to overload yourself with pressure," he said after the game in Nelspruit.

"What I can say is that the game was very difficult, these people ran at us.

“The coach told us to be patient and we will get chances even if they come at us, we will get opportunities to score.

Mbuthuma has been under immense pressure at Pirates with fans booing him in some instances but the coach kept on fielding him.

And last night he was rewarded.
