Lopetegui | Michail Antonio is a special guy and we are happy to be able to dedicate this…

Mick is a very special player, a special guy, we love him a lot and we are very happy to be able to dedicate this victory to him.

It has been a tough few days for a lot of reasons. Today we are happy because we achieved three important points.

It was a very difficult match, as all the matches in the Premier League are, and we overcame different moments in disallowing the goals.

We had a lot of shots, the first very clear chances we had in the first half we didn't take advantage of - we did the same against Leicester and in the end we lost.

Today after we started winning, making it 2-0 was more or less key, so the disallowed goal and them equalising was a trigger moment to be strong in our mentality. I think we did that.

I am happy for the players to have the possibility to dedicate this victory to Mick and his family. They deserve this.

Set-pieces are always key.

We scored from a set-piece in the last match, but we lost that one. Always set-pieces are a very important moment in football and that's why we are happy [that we took advantage of the corner tonight].
