Peter Crouch breaks headed goals record

The Stoke City striker revealed his pride at his
latest achievement, while praising his team-mates
after their phenomenal 6-1 victory against
Liverpool on Sunday
Peter Crouch was proud to crown a sensational
Stoke City performance against Liverpool by
setting a new record for the most headed Premier
League goals.
Crouch initially watched on from the bench on
Sunday as Stoke capitalised on abject Liverpool
defending to open up a scarcely believable 5-0
lead by half-time, through Mame Biram Diouf's
brace and further goals from Jonathan Walters,
Charlie Adam and Steven N'zonzi.
Steven Gerrard pulled one back on his final
Liverpool appearance, before former England striker
Crouch came on as a late substitute and nodded in
a Diouf cross for his 47th headed Premier League
goal - one more than previous record-holder Alan
Shearer.
"I'm very proud and pleased to gain a new record
and to some extent get it out the way this season,"
Crouch told Stoke City Player.
"It was amazing to come on and do it in front of
the Boothen End, which I know is a very special
place here [at the Britannia], and break the record.
"That's a highlight for me and hopefully there will
be many more to come over the next couple of
years.
"It was coming and I’m incredibly pleased to have
got it, but I'm also a little embarrassed because it
was all about the team performance.
"We were incredible and it was nice for me to
personally break the record but it was all about our
first-half performance because it was incredible.
"That performance shows how far we have come
as a team since I arrived, we are really playing
with flair and style, so it's a privilege to be a part
of it.
"We've just beaten Liverpool Football Club 6-1 and
that is absolutely incredible."
