"I felt we started where we left off against Wolves," he said.
"All the things you look for from your team were there today and all round it was a pleasing performance."
"The new guys played well, especially Nigel Reo-Coker who gave us some momentum through the middle. I thought him and Michael Carrick worked well together.
"We're starting to play really well the last three games and we're putting together a good run. It was a big, big game for us as they're a resilient team and we worked hard for the win."
