Hear him: “I didn’t think we started that well, even though doing so had been something we’d talked about before,” said the former England midfielder. “[Abraham’s] goal came at the right time and after that I felt pretty comfortable.
“Getting four away from home – we’re scoring – so it’s a nice afternoon.”
“Let’s not get carried away, it’s a long season and we feel we might have picked up more points than we’ve actually got. We’ve not been at our absolute best and we can be a lot better.
