“When we came back from an unfortunate defeat at Everton which I didn’t think we deserved, I asked the lads what they could do in a big week for us. We were playing for nine points in nine days, rather than nine points in three weeks as we were at the start of the season, when we had international breaks.
“That’s why everybody else is sitting up and taking notice, because nobody else in the Premier League has won all three games and only Manchester United can match us by winning on Monday when they play.
“Nobody else has managed to achieve what we have and that puts us in real top form again. Considering we have gone a goal down in the last two games and come back to win, it shows the ability of this squad to overcome some adversity.
