In addition to a motivated team performance, Neville was quick to highlight the excellent individual performances from scorer Lewis Morgan and super-sub Federico Higuaín.

“I think with Federico, in the LA Galaxy game he was fantastic, [against] Philadelphia [he] won us the game, today he came on and gave us that calmness and composure…I just think that at this moment in time the influence that he is having, the impact that he is having in the last 35 minutes of games when the game becomes stretched, when the opposition become more fatigued and the game gets open, I think that's where he has so much intelligence just to come on and pick up the rhythm of the game the speed of the game really quickly, which is what he brings us.”

“He knows his worth, he’s been sensational I’ve got to say and today was another major impact from him. He gives the team a lift, he gives the team composure whenever everyone else is around. He’s really fast and he’s emotional, he just brings the calmness to the game and I am really pleased with Federico.''
