Michael Carrick : “I am really happy. It was a test for us going in a goal down at half-time. New for us. We didn’t start the game great, credit to Palace they did. We grew into the game as the half went on. Second half we stepped up again.
“It was a big thing to overcome being a goal down at home so early against a team that are tough to break down. It was a big step for us. I was really happy with the way the boys approached that and reacted to it.”
“Ben is here to score goals and he has done enough of that lately. He is going to be an important player – he already is an important player – and he is going to become even more important as he progresses and improves.
“To get the start today it wasn’t a drama, it was a natural decision. Amad coming on and rotating a bit. For Ben to get that goal, that is some really important goals he has scored for us. It was a fantastic header.”
