However, Tudor insists he never allowed himself to relax over the 90 minutes, stating: “It was a different kind of match, also because of the kick-off time and the tempo was lower. They had prepared for us as well.

"We scored early, and that helped us; in football, you never know, you always have to stay alert.

“I’m never calm, not even at 3-1 or 4-1 – I always see danger. Credit to the boys, two good wins. Tonight they’ll have an evening off and a dinner out – they’ve earned it. Now we prepare for City. A great challenge.”

On two-goal Yildiz, Tudor added, “Only he can decide how far he can go. Players like him are rare – playing up front and making a difference while running like a typical midfielder is a rare quality.

"He’s got a strong mentality. We’ve all seen what he’s capable of. He’s a golden boy.”
