“We rode our luck at times. Viktor (Johansson) had a fantastic game. It was important to score early away from home. From then on, it was one-way traffic. I cannot fault the effort the boys put in. It was a lucky three points but a deserved one. Luck paid its part. The lads gave absolutely everything. The will to win at our club is second to none. We were out on our feet at times."
"We probably took advantage of Jagielka being off the field with a head injury. Stoke were one short in their defensive unit and we managed to take a short corner and Ollie did the right thing in terms of hitting the target. From that point on it was one-way traffic. I would have liked us to control the ball a little bit more than we did but the effort the lads put in, I couldn't fault it.
"They were a lucky three points but deserved ones. Luck played its part, of course it did. Luck is also on top of the foundation this club has already got with the heart and endeavour of that group of players to give everything. Our will to win was second to none. We were out on our feet at times and we weren't perfect but the result is what matters."
