Post-match press conference
Dan James quotes in brief
We have been great going forward, we got the goals at good times
It's been great, the coaching staff have been brilliant
I feel really good at the moment, thankfully I got that goal and an assist
Rob Page quotes in brief
What an achievement for the players, to go unbeaten, tonight we showed our intent from the first minute
I am extremely proud of the group of players
On Giggs : Extremely proud of the players, spoke to him after the game
The senior players have been exceptional
As long as they are working hard, we have got enough quality on the pitch to hurt any side
Really pleased with Gareth
Mixed emotions leading the side, loved every minute of it, great group of players and staff
Still better things to come with 3 at the back and the false 9, have to be adaptable and will only help us in competitions
Work goes on as normal, planning stays the same ahead of the Euros
