First half statistics

Post match reaction:

Lee Bowyer:
"We have proved we can beat anybody on our day so long as we all hold together. We played well - it was a team performance. We played very well at the back, competed in midfield and did a lot of running upfront. Everyone expected us to get hammered like we did against Barcelona, so that proves what good team spirit we have."

"I never thought the goal was going in - it wasn't in the corner. We are playing against top-class goalkeepers and i expected him to save it quite comfortably. But the weather was wet, it was pouring down with rain, it slipped through his hands - and we got the three points."

David O'Leary:
" I like beating Italian teams because i have a lot of admiration for them. You know when you beat them you have beaten the top of the tree in world football."
