“I thought it was something like we merited from the game. We turned off once and we were rebuffed for it, other than that I suspected we guarded incredibly well.

“I thought we were the better group and that is the initial time I’ve not rolled out early improvements since I had such a lot of confidence in that group to dominate this match or obtain the outcome we really wanted, and I felt assuming I planned to transform it I would weaken it. I’m truly satisfied I stayed consistent.

“I’m elated for the players since they merit it. We are on an amazing run of results and the players merit a tremendous measure of credit.

“Yet, as far as we might be concerned, it’s just got us to an open door now. In spite of the fact that we’re cheerful and we’ll celebrate, we want to get our brain on the following one.”

“I thought we set about Sunderland from the word go and it was a greatly improved presentation, we shut the spaces down, we didn’t permit them to get any energy in the game.
