We've had some different challenges this year, and some really tough away games in different competitions.
But I think in terms of an all-round package of what we want to see here in terms of the game style, individuals, energy, intensity and effort I think it was right up there as one of the best games we have played.
It can be marker for what we want to do for the last six to eight weeks of the season."
