"That was never going to be an easy game; they haven't lost for the past seven games so we knew that it was going to be tough. Even though we were at home it was going to be difficult to beat them." the midfielder told the Official Club Website
"It wasn't a pretty game, much like last week at Sheffield United, but when you're top of the league and grinding out results like that it's got to be good.
"Great header by Shefki to give us an early lead and it's a shame that he's going to be out for some time but that early goal was important for us.
"The lads are happy with the result but unhappy with the way we played; we like to play football. The conditions were horrible today so it was difficult to play good football."
