On what he was most pleased about: "We looked in control of the game. There were moments for sure when we had to defend, especially in the first half. There were a few minutes, but overall the team looked mature, we were knowing what to do in each moment, knowing we will have a moment and that happened in that second half.

"After that, we were good with the ball, we were creating chances, not conceding much and to win away is always tough. We got the clean sheet, we knew it was a matter of time and finally we got it."

On the first clean sheet for the club since January: "We need to keep working, it's just one game. One [for the rest of the season] will be very poor, so we need to get more clean sheets for the rest of the league games, but for sure, the first one feels good.

"We need to keep working this way, working well, being serious and knowing wherever we go we can play in an efficient and professional way."

On keeping a clean sheet: "We need a clean sheet to be honest. I think we did a very good game. Emi deserved this, Mike [Penders] did as well."

On his first goal: "We know that they came man-to-man. In the second half, we adjusted some stuff. We tried to get the best of the man-to-man press and we got away. We got the cross and I could finish well, so really happy."

On his composed finishes: "This comes a little bit from the new coach of the national team that says when you are near to the area you need to pass to the goal, so I'm really happy with that."

On continuing this winning form: "It's really important. We know it's tough to play away, even at home there are no easy games. We came here with personality, with good intentions to win the match and really happy with the result."
