“We have to play to win every game and today we did that,” he told Football on TNT Sports.

“He’s counting one now. I’m sure there will be more to come.” 

“Actually, we had a chance to add a third, fourth goal before we actually got it in injury time. We created chances, I don’t know how many times.”
