The 27-year-old told Goals on Sunday: "Personally, my finishing has not been the best this season and I'm frustrated with it. I should have done better but it is one of those things.

"It's nice to be scoring goals and I want to be helping the team in that way but sometimes you have to be doing other stuff in the game and I think I've improved that this season."

Gayle is yet to score more than seven goals in a single Premier League season.
