"The defensive discipline gave us full control of the game that was, at times, quite lively. Big credit to the boys for going out and being extremely disciplined for one another. We really deserved that clean sheet because we gave absolutely nothing away. We were on top of them, controlling the space in behind."
"Motherwell are in the mix to challenge for the Scottish Premiership title. They've conceded just 18 goals in 28 league games, fewer than any other team in the division and one of the best defensive records in Europe. Only Italian side Roma, Portuguese outfits Porto, Sporting and Benfica and Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise have conceded fewer goals across the continent's top leagues."
