"It's nice. It's not been a nice period for me, but you have to deal with it. It's nice to be out there to change the momentum hopefully. It's been a tough time. You have to accept the challenge, I think we did well today."

"We started really well. First 20 minutes we were in control. I had a chance with the header, I was trying to score but it was going next to the goal. It was good that Bernardo was there. I was really surprised because when I got the ball from Jeremy (Doku), I was in so much space. Just had to hit the target. Luckily I did that. I'm happy I could do 70 minutes, it's a big improvement from what I've done lately so I'm happy about it."

"To be honest, it's not the momet to look at that (title race with Liverpool). It's been a hard period. We have to accept the challenge. The Premier League is getting harder and harder. we know that everybody is becoming a tough team to play. Everybody is taking points off everybody."

"We have to improve as a team first, try to win games and we'll see in a couple of months where we are. Hopefully, we will have improved a bit and we get a bit closer. For the moment, it is not the time."
