“After the two draws at Burnley and at home against Southampton, it was absolutely important to win. Including the Aston Villa game, we gave away six points in those three games after being 1-0 or 2-0 up and therefore it was highly important against an in-form Brighton team to get the three points today.”
"It was to either change to 3-5-2 - unusual for us, because we haven’t played in that formation often - or mirror them in the 4-4-2 with a diamond. That again would have meant that one or two players would have played in not their best possible positions. So we decided to stick to the 4-2-3-1 and just take more risks, attack their centre-backs with our wingers on the ball side and it paid off with the goal we scored."
“We should have killed the game off again much earlier, after the red card. We had five, six unbelievable chances to score, but again we didn’t and as long as it’s 1-0 and with the experience of the last three games, it’s normal there was a little bit of insecurity in the team. With Bruno’s goal it was clear with only one minute to go that the game was over.”
"I'm really pleased about Ronaldo getting a goal, it puts a smile back on his face. He just wants to score goals, that is his passion. Bruno [is important] with his industry and quality."
