On the clean sheet and battling performance vs Everton, Alonso added: "We needed to feel we could win in this way." There was praise for Palmer, Joao Pedro and Rogers for doing the battling side of the game.
Malo Gusto missed the match through illness. Chavarria "felt something in the last action in training" and will be tested tomorrow. Alonso confirms concern around Martinez is concussion-related, which could mean 14 days out. Praise for Penders and Hato for stepping up.
