“I suppose it was a great response, I think. It gave me a confidence boost as well because, let's not forget as well, the away game against Liverpool is where, in my head, I had kind of lost the fans a little bit [against Newcastle] and the fans were then chanting my name [at Anfield].
“It just gave me a confidence boost that I am not really finished here, you know what I mean. Then Arsenal was just great because it was 10 men surviving against a good team and, in the end, winning it in a way like this. It was another eruption, you know. It was a nice moment.”
Asked about the support he received from our fans at Anfield, Zirkzee says it gave him a major boost: “Yeah, 100 per cent, confidence and more so it gave a reason to work even harder to do ever more to not let them down. The least you can do is repay them with hard work.”
