It's a body blow for us but not fatal at the moment and we're still in there fighting I think maybe a bit of naivety with a minute to go on the clock that we're still trying to chase a goal in that moment we need to defend I thought the lads gave everything today under difficult circumstances with the extra time on Saturday and there was a bit of fatigue in our performance but I can't fault the players.

Yeah, a historic game for us tonight.

I don't know, there's so much I could say about that game.

I don't think we were at our very best tonight.

I thought we were loose at times, but what we did show was real heart, fight, determination and desire to win.

We defended heroically at times.

Our goalkeeper played very well.

So it wasn't the perfect performance, but we're delighted with the win.

I think so.

At 2-1, in the manner we conceded as well, and we had the VAR psychological blow, you can start to feel sorry for yourself, but we didn't.

Although we conceded chances, as I said, I think that was more down to the general performance in the second period, which wasn't what we wanted it to be.

Yeah, it was a brilliant goal.

A really, really good goal.

I don't actually remember too much about it, though.

I just remember the final bit.

I can't even see the ball here.

But yeah, I remember Philip Billy making a brilliant run.

And he was really well slipped in.

And then Harry seemed to score in the blink of an eye.
