"We'd just come off a home loss to Parma. Leaving here with a bad result would have been tough. We were a bit nervous in the first 30 minutes because the Parma loss after six months without defeat lingered with us, but today's win allows us to move on."
"The lads did well, both those who started and those who came on. Both Leao and Pulisic are growing, [and] Nkunku and Fullkrug did well after coming on."
