Timber said afterwards, “It does, if you see everything we went through today. It’s not the first time, but the way that we reacted in the second half, we can be really proud of the players and a much-deserved win today.

“You still want to win, you have to play with courage, you have to go for that goal and at the same time, you can’t concede.

“We knew it was going to be tough and we sacrificed a lot and in the end, we really deserved it.”

On the away support, Timber added:  “You can feel the energy, I think that’s really important, that connection between the players and the fans. 

“That’s such a massive thing sometimes it’s underestimated but I think today they really pushed us through and you see the goal that we scored, the energy that comes out of there, feels really good.”
