Taking the emotion out of an occasion and being professional is not something we have always been good day. We didn't handle it in the first game at Wembley for instance, but against Manchester City we did.

Christian Eriksen talked about the opposition not mattering, we were still only playing for three points. I'm glad the message is getting through to the players as that will give more consistent performances. We have just seen two victories, one in the Champions League and one in the Premier League that bolsters the sides belief and confidence that we are on the right track.

On importance of beating teams like City
“It’s a bit like last season. The game was in a similar period (to when we beat City at home in 2015-16) and was maybe the real start of the season. It’s true that we had a good result against Liverpool but this win means a lot. It rewards our effort from the start of the season and gives us a lot of energy and confidence for the following weeks.”
On seeing matches out while in front
“It was like in Moscow – we were very professional and that’s the difference between last season. I’ve said already that we will get more mature but it’s just the beginning of the season and we need to keep our feet on the floor.”
On the team being yet to concede from open play in the Premier League this term
“Yes, but that’s team work. We are all involved in the offensive work and the defensive side and I think we’re all enjoying clean sheets, all enjoying scoring goals and all enjoying wins like this.”
