Fernandes played the full 120 minutes on Sunday.

He told TNT: I was shouting and I couldn't hear my voice. So you have an idea of what the noise was like for us on the pitch, with the tiredness, with everything.

My lungs were on their last legs too but it was impressive. I think they were excellent with us from start to finish, even when we conceded a goal, because the next moment we'd create something and the stadium would rise up again and create the momentum we needed."

On his move to centre-back, the Portugal international said: And at one point I had to jump into the middle, at others I had to drop a little deeper, because my legs were getting tired, I was cramping up everywhere, and I even took a knock to help out.

But it's whatever it takes to help the team. Because Antony ended up at left-back, Eriksen was also at 6, McTominay further forward. We were all giving everything we had to win the game."
