And that’s all from me. Here’s Peter Lansley’s match report again. Bye!

Unai Emery’s reaction. I love the way he starts every interview with “good evening”. Beyond that, though, he rarely says very much and so it is here:

We were trying to dominate, keeping ball possession and trying to get chances as well. The most important was trying to be patient and we did it. We had chances, we weren’t clinical, but second half, after the first goal, we were thinking our work was going well. We are thinking of the next match. We’re in the quarter-final and we’re happy. The Cup is important for the club, for the supporters, for ourselves, and it’s a way for a trophy.
