Collins told the Bees website: "Nørgaard was crushed during the break. We know how much he does for us, so the second half was for him and everything he contributes.
"Getting the first clean sheet is amazing, it has frustrated me!
"In 95 percent of the matches we have defended well, the last five percent we have closed in a little too easy targets. But we deserved it today."
