Norwich City striker Jordan Hugill hopes scoring in the Carabao Cup will earn him more opportunities in their Championship side.
He has not started a league game for Norwich since the end of the 2020-21 season, spending last term on loan at West Brom and Cardiff City.
"I've had to be patient," the 30-year-old told BBC Radio Norfolk.
"From the start of pre-season, I've scored goals when I've been on the pitch.
"Another goal tonight hopefully strengthens my case but we'll see what happens and just carry on."
Hugill joined the Canaries from West Ham two years ago in a deal that could eventually be worth £5m.
