"We got the goal we needed in the first half, then in the second half we had to hold onto it - but that's fine. I have to thank my teammates for the way they fought and gave everything to win this match."
He added: "I love this stadium! The atmosphere is great and their fans support their side like our fans always do. I'm really pleased [to score here again].
