“We did everything to break Remo, we started getting into it, we played well and came out with a 1-0 win. Its big for us but its just the next game. We had a couple of unimpressed results and just wanted to put it right.

“It was a good build up, Bello had seen me free and he headed it for me finish off.

“Luckily I made an impact in my return from injury and we take the three points here, it gives us a huge boost, because the last two games were not good enough and now we can build on this.”
