“We knew we could cause them problems by getting into certain areas and that proved to be the case.

“I had hoped to get a bit more from the possession we had in the second half but I thought we managed the game really well.

“I didn’t feel under pressure at any point but I think we were a little safe at times in the second half.

“We had them at arm’s length all afternoon and the only frustration was conceding with the last kick of the game.

“However, that was the only slight disappointment on what was a very good day for us.”
