Christian Norgaard is delighted to reach the fifth round of the FA Cup as he picked up the player of the match award in our 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic.
The Dane was at the heart of the midfield as a first-half riot saw us score four times against the Latics to reach the round of 16.
Norgaard picked up an assist in the contest in N5, finding Gabriel Jesus with a ranging pass, and after the match, the midfielder revealed he's enjoyed linking up with the Brazilian.
He said: "I feel like I connected really well with Gabriel Jesus when we played together also against Kairat. A similar ball, but it was just slightly offside.
"So, when you have such good players up front, it's all about just timing it right, and then today, fortunately, it was not offside.
"I felt really comfortable today on the pitch in the first half. I felt like I had a lot of time and with our pace we have up front, it was just about trying to pick the right pass and then playing with Ebs as well in the middle of the park also was very enjoyable.

"So I enjoyed the minutes out there and hopefully more to come."
It's the first time Christian has reached the fifth round of the competition as a player, and the Dane is focused on continuing the fight on all four fronts.
He said: "It was a good game for us today, I think, especially the first half. We more or less did everything right. It was only up until the 4-0, where we lost a bit of focus in the last 5-10 minutes, where we also conceded a big chance that Kepa saved for us.
"But then I thought we regained that focus and energy in the second half. Even though we didn't score, we managed to not give anything away, which was very important for us. So, all-in-all, a professional game and a good game for us.
"It meant a lot [to go on a run in the FA Cup]. So, now we'll see where the next draw is and we'll prepare as much as possible for it."
