“The most difficult thing here is to cope with the rhythm Celtic play at and the intensity they play with and, of course, the support they have with them,” Emery said after the match.

“I think my team showed a lot of character. It was really a team effort and it showed a really controlled approach to the game, which I’m very pleased with.

Emery added; “I thought we had a lot of threat in the midfield. We controlled not just in the midfield but all across the park. What I was really pleased with was that we were in control with the ball but also without the ball.”

Cavani, who scored a brace, also reechoed his manager’s thought, and says it was important that they remained focused all through the game especially defensively.

“We played a great game for the whole 90 minutes. We stayed focused throughout not just when we were attacking but when we defended too,” he said.

“It was the perfect match, the match we had to play here to get the three points. Every team I’ve played in and all the forwards I’ve played with have been different and I’m aware that I’m playing alongside two or three fantastic players.

” I need to make the most of it and I need to stay humble to continue like this, like we’ve been doing since the start of the season,” he added.
