Obviously we&#8217;ve seen the games that we&#8217;ve played with each other over the last couple of years, it&#8217;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&#8217;t our greatest. Jots made a fantastic goal, [we] kept a clean sheet overall and [got] three points, so we move on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On how much he enjoyed his goal&#8230; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jota:<\/strong> I always believe in myself.
