No one will have been happier than Postecoglou to end a run of five games without a win, and he had a lot of praise for his players after the match.

"I can't fault the lads. Because of that, they get their rewards too which I'm pleased about because they put in a massive effort today," he told Sky Sports/

"I thought we were a lot more bright in that front third and a lot more aware of the opportunities that were before us.

"I thought Sonny was excellent, particularly in the first half, he really caused them problems. Those kind of things feed off to other guys, they see his authority and they take a lead from that.

"You do rely on your more experienced players and your leaders, like Sonny, to take that initiative. The rest of the lads fed off that."
