Wright sets sights on top six after wonder goal

Akil Wright revelled in his wonder goal and insisted Ross County should be targeting the top six this season rather than merely staying in the Premiership.

The defender sent a stunning 25-yard volley into the top corner at Pittodrie to set Don Cowie's men on their way to a second successive away win.

County, now unbeaten in three games, occupy 10th spot but are just five points off sixth-place Motherwell in a congested table.

"Yeah, no reason at all," said Wright.

"We believe in ourselves, we have done well in the last three games and we have kept that confidence.

"Winning is always going to give you that extra bit of confidence going into the next one so there is no reason why we can't look up rather than down.

"But there are lot of teams around that mix so it is about picking up points as best you can and hopefully come the end of the season we are in a good position."

Wright admits he's never likely to better his sensational strike against the Dons.

"I will never do that again I don't think," he added.

"I took probably the perfect touch and once I hit it I knew it had a chance and thankfully it has gone in. Just watching it go in was the best feeling."
