Afterwards, Mainoo said: "It was an amazing comeback. When I came on I tried to bring energy, contribute to the team, carry on the energy and feed off the other payers."

On keeping his composure for the goal, he added: "When the ball drops to you a yard feels like a mile, you've got to stay as calm as you can.

"The performance wasn't up to the highest standard, but a win like that can bring so much momentum, we're rolling the snowball and it could get bigger and bigger.

"Hopefully we can go all the way."
