He credited the Eagles defense for standing tall and securing two consecutive clean sheet.
“We’re not taking the game lightly. I feel like we’ve improved gradually with every small game. We’ll be looking to take a massive step forward in the next game.
“Yeah, the defence, that’s what we pride ourselves on. It’s not easy so we’re glad to get two in a row now. It’s still just the things that we can be better on and be more dominant
“It brings confidence. We know we’re ok for the world, but a win like this is a real statement. It brings us to the point where we have it ourselves.”
