Ten Hag said afterwards: "He   took a risk but I think he was on the ball. He didn't hit any opponent so I think a booking but he should take more control."

On a third consecutive clean sheet, he added: "We have worked very hard as a team to be defensive, compact. 

"We’ve worked on pressing and you see the benefits from it but also, on the ball, we are very constructive and we have control and that also, we take the breath of the opponent away.”
