"It was about applying our game-plan, which we did. We got the ball wide and caused problems. I don't think the scoreline flattered us. We could have scored more.
"I thought we played really well. If we play our best football, we're hard to stop."
"Massive credit to the following we brought. They made it feel like a proper derby."
