The former Manchester United winger said after the game: “We’ve been talking all week about starting well and that’s what แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ we did tonight. I’m delight. It’s always nice to get your name on the scoreboard.”
“We were a little bit unlucky with the penalty we concede but we kept going. He (Bellamy) told us at half-time to give it our all. There were moments in the first half where we didn’t control the game as we wanted, but in the second half we controlled the game a lot better.”
“It was important to get the win tonight and go into Tuesday’s game.
