Portsmouth striker Peter Crouch believes his five goals for the club are just the start of a run of goals.

Crouch has scored five goals for Pompey since the start of the Premier League season, earning himself a recall to the England squad. His strike partner Jermain Defoe has scored six.

He said: "I feel Jermain and I can get a lot of goals together at Portsmouth.

"Our partnership is coming along fine - and while that is five this season for me, it is six for Jermain. I hope they will keep coming for both us.

"I would have to put my goal right up there with the best I've scored, not only because I got it just right but also because it gave us a vital breakthrough."

Crouch added: "I certainly hadn't given up on my England ambitions, but you can't just sit around and wait for a recall. Getting goals for Portsmouth is the key."
