About this game
"We were united from start to finish. Liverpool are a world-class team, so we need to defend hard. The way we defend together, staying calm on the ball - not blindly driving the ball forward - like Damsgaard passed to Shad, Thiago was a threat all night. He has been all season."
"Overall, It was a really good performance and we deserved it in the end."
"You look across the field and there's quality players everywhere. I know they haven't had a great run lately, but they're still a top team, in my opinion. It's just about finding a rhythm and getting back on track. There are a lot of reasons why they haven't reached the heights they were last season, but they're still a world-class team wherever you look. Top player."
On what it felt like to play against Liverpool
"I've been at Liverpool for so long. It will always be etched in my mind because it was 12 years of my life. It was a bit strange, but once the whistle went, it was business as usual and I was ready and in the right frame of mind and I was totally committed to the game. It's just as good. I spent 12 years there and gave it most of my life. It has a special place in my heart. I still expect everything to go well for Liverpool - not when we play against them - but that will never change. It's great to see some of them, but it's nice to see them again."
