Scoring the winner in a Barclays Premier League game meant
"I just carried my run on, and I think Cheik's gone for the shot but luckily it fell for me. I tapped it in and I couldn't be any happier.
"We had a look at the Villa game and we deserved to win that one but couldn't score, then we had a tough one at Everton, where maybe we could have taken something from it.
"So to get back to winning ways on Saturday was great. We've got another tough game at West Brom on Tuesday and we'll be looking to bring three points back from there."
As well as his goal, Cresswell also had a clean sheet to celebrate and the former Ipswich Town man wants more of the same at West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
He added: "It was a good day all round. As a defender you can't ask for much more than a clean sheet.
"We got that and if you can get an assist or goal as well then great. I've scored my first goal in the Premier League and I'm very proud of that."
