Welcome to Vancouver, Robert Earnshaw.

The Welshman made his debut for the Whitecaps in Saturday's match against the Portland Timbers, coming on in the 87th minute of a 1-1 draw. Three minutes later, he broke the tie.

"The length of time I've been playing football and that feeling when the ball hits the net, oh my god, it's the best," Earnshaw told reporters after the match. "Within that split two, two-and-a-half seconds, my mind is going. It's like three minutes because I have to know what to do, when to do it and react to what he was doing."

Looks like he knew exactly what to do.
