Stevenage manager Alex Revell was delighted to see Arthur Read break his goalscoring duck for the club against Carlisle United.
The 21-year-old is on loan from Championship side Brentford and has impressed some with his control of midfield in his 26 appearances so far.
He was even the player of the month in December but hadn't troubled the scoring charts until he ran onto an Elliot Osborne through ball 19 minutes from time and fired between the legs of Carlisle goalkeeper Magnus Norman.

Revell said: "It’s about time and Ready has been waiting for that.
"I set him targets for what I want to see yesterday and he has hit most of them.
"He's had a lot of games but just needed to have a break out of the team.
"But he kept his head down and learned and when you do that, you get your rewards.
