Xhaka told TNT Sports afterwards: "We spoke at the beginning of the season, our target was 40 points, we achieved 40 points and now we want more because the hunger is big. Our target was 40 points. We are taking it game by game, let's see where we get." This was just the fifth Premier League game this season a team has won with just one shot on target, with Sunderland now accounting for two of those. "We don't know if it will be enough but it's a good target," Le Bris said on reaching 40 points.
