“I’ve been at the club for 19 years and I know what you want is a strong response in a big game when you have a big disappointment.
“But we took it in perspective and focused on what is important. It’s us and not too much what was said and we focused on what is important in the game and that is part of being at the top level.
“The pressure on any disappointment today is massive and it’s maybe a little bit more difficult to deal with it but we did well.”
“To win in a big game is always a statement. We are in it, we are two points off the league leaders, Manchester City, so I hope that result today will give us belief to fight for it.”
