On how important the win was…
Jota: Massive, of course, not only because it’s a derby but because after this international break we have this run-in of nine games and it was really important to start with three points. Hopefully that gives us momentum for the rest of the season.
On the game itself…
Van Dijk: You play against Everton and they make it very difficult for you. Obviously we’ve seen the games that we’ve played with each other over the last couple of years, it’s always been tough. They have a certain way of playing that you have to be ready for in all aspects. The first half obviously wasn’t our greatest. Jots made a fantastic goal, [we] kept a clean sheet overall and [got] three points, so we move on.
On how much he enjoyed his goal…
Jota: I always believe in myself. I always believe that the chances will come and I need to be there to take them. Hopefully this game starts a good run for me that could be helpful for the team. Like I said, the three points was really the most important [thing] today.
