“It was always going to be a moment of brilliance from someone, whether that was us or them, and it came from us.

“Good teams come here and find a way to win and that’s what we’ve done today. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t nice, it wasn’t exciting – but a moment of brilliance from us getting the ball from one end of the pitch up, great pass, great touch, great finish.

“If you keep the back door shut and you’re solid and resolute, you’ve always got half a chance with the quality players we’ve got up the top end of the pitch to score a goal. It’s another clean sheet, another three points

“The players will certainly have an extra recovery day at home and then we’ll look to have a free week before we build-up for Reading at home.”
