Against Wycombe, the Icelandic attacker finished deftly to direct Kyle Dempsey’s well-placed cross into the bottom corner.

But the 31-year-old had been having a difficult time in League One, which was encapsulated by the victory over Carlisle last month, where he saw a fantastic goal controversially disallowed for offside.
Yes, it has been a long time. “It feels great to be hitting the mark in the league at last,” he beamingly said.
“It’s a relief, but I’m just glad I could make a difference and help us cross the finish line with three points.”

Bodvarsson went on, “It was really nice, it touched my heart strings and made me feel really good.” “As usual, the fans were incredible; I adore it.”
With wins from Portsmouth and Derby, it was a crucial three points for the Whites in their bid for promotion.
As long as Wanderers can maintain scoring goals as the campaign nears its conclusion, Bodvarsson doesn’t give a damn about how they appear.
