Azon: I'm Really Happy! - Ipswich Town News

Blues striker Ivan Azon was delighted to score his first goal for the club in Town’s 4-1 win at Swansea City yesterday.

Azon, 22, who is on loan from Serie A Como for the season, had come close to finding the net on a number of occasions in recent matches but finally broke his duck when he headed in from a yard out after Swans keeper Lawrence Vigouroux had saved Dara O’Shea’s near-post header from Marcelino Nunez’s right-sided corner.

"Really happy, what can I say?” the Spaniard told TownTV. "Really proud of the team, of every member of the team. Really thankful to the staff, to my teammates and really, really happy.”

The victory was the Blues’ second on the road in eight days, the visit to QPR last Saturday having ended in the same scoreline.

"It’s not easy,” Azon, who had come on as a sub in the 71st minute at the Swansea.com Stadium, added. "I think it’s really nice to go to the international break with this result, with this score. Really happy.”

The former Real Zaragoza attacker thanked the Town supporters, who had made the long trip to South Wales.

"Thank you to everyone,” he continued. "They always travel to everywhere, it’s so difficult and thank you.”
