REACTION
Karl Robinson: “The players were brilliant and they deserve to take a bow because that’s as good as it gets. That’s the best performance (in my time as manager) because it was against a good team.”

Dele Alli: “It was another good performance from the team. We’d been working really hard week in preparation for the game and we knew this was coming really, with the way everybody had been training and putting it in off the pitch.”
