""Proud, I think not ideal going 1-0 down from a set piece at the end of the first half but we all stayed very calm. Coaches, tech staff and players in the changing room spoke about a couple of details. Really happy with how the players stayed so calm on the pitch in the second half because it's not an easy scenario where there was already pressure on us ahead of this game.""
""Nice to score but one goal wasn't really enough. We needed a bit more in the second half," the Scotland international said. "We created a little bit more chances and Arsenal were always in the game, obviously came out in the second half and scored two. "A little bit disappointed. I think we played well but it wasn't quite enough tonight. Against a top team, Arsenal, it's always going to be difficult.""
