“He’s working hard every day on the training ground and if you score two goals in an important win? I’m really happy for him and the whole team is happy for him.
“The first one I really enjoyed. It was a great header, it was in the air, a nice goal. It was a good day!”

“They are a good team this season, they won a lot of games in a row and it was an important result for us for the feeling and the table of course as well.
“Now we can take one and a half or two weeks for the game against Watford. Everybody is happy and we need to keep going like this. It was a big result for us, a massive result.”
