"It was a good game. I'm really pleased. I thought we were outstanding tonight, especially in the first half, like we have been in a lot of games.
"We were very good with the ball and went 2-0 up and I thought we were exceptional in the first half with or without the ball.
"Tactically we were strong and going into second half we knew Alan (Irvine) is an outstanding coach, so we knew his team would come out and give it a go.
"We had a chance to kill the game and then from that moment the game turned a bit but that's the nature of it
"They are the home team and they have to come out and we played a bit more on the counter-attack.
"But we had to defend and defend well. It was a great mark of our team to come to a place like this and beat a very good team who will be up there.
"I was really proud of the players tonight."
Alan Irvine
"Not acceptable first half, excellent second half.
"We've come back from being 2-0 down before and I thought we could do it again and how many chances did we have?
"We've hit the woodwork three times and their goalkeeper has made some great saves - we could still have come back.
"I always believe we can come back if we apply ourselves properly."
