Denis Cheryshev delighted after Saudi Arabia brace

Russia winger Denis Cheryshev has said that he is delighted after netting twice in the hosts' 5-0 defeat of Saudi Arabia.

Cheryshev rose to the top of the World Cup scoring charts on the opening afternoon with a strike either side of half time to give Stanislav Cherchesov's side the perfect start to the tournament.

The winger, speaking to reporters after the game, said that there were "no words" to describe his feelings.

"There are no words to express what I'm feeling right now," Cheryshev said.

"I could never have dreamed of anything like this. I'm happy we've won but we shouldn't stop there."

Russia's next test is against Egypt on June 20.
