“It was an amazing delivery and I was in the right place at the right time to score. It was a team effort, not just about the goals. Morato as well, and the players that came on from the bench. It’s about the team and being ready for the team.
“It felt really long at the end but thankfully the boys remained focused. It was about pushing until the end, keeping the ball and trying not to concede.
“We prepared well, set up right. The coach deserves a lot of credit.
“When you look at the season and where we are now, the boys have been brilliant. They have come through a lot and, with the way we are going, there are just a few more games.
“Next up we have Villa, which is another important game. We’re taking each game as it comes and going into it with a three-point mentality. I believe we’ll go there with that mentality against Villa, and we will see what comes next until the end of the season.”
