"I'm very pleased with him. In this league, it's amazing. He's a strong midfielder, quality, long passing, good vision, strong in the tackle.
"Now I think he has scored 10 goals. That's unbelievable, very, very good."
As for the rest of the team... "When Blackburn scored in the last two minutes, I thought the match was finished.
"But my players have a very strong character. They wanted to win and it was good for us.
"Arsenal and Manchester United are used to staying in this position. For us, it's the first time and we must continue to work to build our foundation."
