"We did really well and kept on playing right up until the end. I am pleased for everyone - for the players, the fans and the club as a whole," said the boss.
"The team had a lot of confidence and approached the game in the right way. I think the atmosphere helped us a lot as well so there are many positives, it was a fantastic all-round performance.
"Fernando and Stevie played very well, but I don't like to talk too much about just one player. The whole team - every player and all the staff, from the doctors and the coaches to the physios - everyone was very good. I thought we did very well for the fans.
"I think this result will do us a lot of good, the result pleased me a lot."
