The coach said: “I’m happy with it, but it’s just one small step forward. Relief is probably a good word. Fans and media have been within their rights to say the things they are saying. I’d have said the same. The fans were incredible tonight, especially when we went 1-0 down. They stayed with every single player, and me, and I am grateful for that.The game tells us that football is not about putting on the best performance. But today we got the result. It’s not a night for any celebration whatsoever, not to get carried away. We’ll gain some confidence from the result. There’s a good feeling from the dressing room and we’ll take things forward.”
