I think I am really proud of my players to come here and keep clean sheets against this team with so much talent, it was a great performance. "We were a bit lucky, we conceded two posts, in some games it goes that way and it's a good thing for us tonight. I'm really pleased becase probably a lot of people were expecting different result because of the form City were in. Chelsea has been doing this for years, but I'm happy because I'm the new manager and they keep doing that. People need to understand it takes a lot, the players are working really hard, it's a mentality to be able to achieve that."
