Speaking following the game Sam said, “We were successful, both out of possession and in possession.  “I was looking at the injury list on Saturday and our fear was that we had seven players out injured, so I had to change the team around a little bit, but I wanted to keep that same system.

“I wanted to keep that diamond because I think it suits the players, as we saw again with our performance.  I was worried because if it didn’t work, we didn’t have many players to bring in, so we might have to change it.  We didn’t until the end when they threw caution to the wind.

“We didn’t want to let them sneak back in it with a goal out of the blue, but finally we got the second goal and that was exactly what we deserved.  Across the board, it was a very good performance from the players with very few mistakes made by the defenders - unlike Manchester United.

“Of course goalscoring is very important and the first one, even though it was a little bit of luck, got us on our way.  The second one killed the opposition when they were having a good spell, which was about ten minutes long and that was the end of it.”
