"We defended really well and made some important blocks.
"I've had a bit of time on the bench. The lads have been playing really well, so I can't complain. I kept working hard and then hopefully I took my chance.
"It was a big night for us against Premier League opposition. A night game is always a good atmosphere. The fans were unbelievable and really helped us.
