"We lost today but I think the whole game we had the ball in our possession and we had a couple of chances. If we opened the game with an early goal it could be have been different.
"We could have had two penalties but the referee didn't whistle.
"The first one I feel the contact, it was light contact but I fell down. The second one was more a penalty than the first one for sure. I feel his hand on my shoulder and I fell down.
"The first one was little bit light and this is England so there are a different type of criteria for the penalty, but the second one definitely."

"It was a game we wanted a positive result from. Through winning it we would go three points behind third place, it would be a huge result and it was.
"We controlled the game as it went on. Our passing could have been better but the conditions were bad. To come here after a European game and get a win, it's a great result from the players.
"[On the Southampton penalty appeals] The player has gone over far too easy, no way that was a penalty. I thought referee Kevin Friend was excellent and I think all his decisions were right.
"To come here and keep a clean sheet is a great effort."
