THIERRY HENRY

"A win is a win, and this one was against the best team in the league. I said it was going to be a difficult game and it was tough. But it's a good win. We played again without Saphir Taïder and Romell Quioto, but Bojan is getting stronger and stronger and Amar Sejdic had a great game. We are in a situation where every game we have the feeling to play away. It's good for the moral. Clément Diop responded well after the last game, but the team also responded well. We have to keep our feet on the ground and keep working. We found a way to disturb them today, we have to keep on going."

ZACHARY BRAULT-GUILLARD

"We suffered in the second half, but we were solid defensively. I want to mention that Jorge Corrales was back from a big injury and came out with a strong performance. It feels good to win this game against one of the best teams in the league. We didn't put any pressure on ourselves. We wanted to come back and play the right way."

VICTOR WANYAMA

"I think that we showed that we can fight through difficulties. Beating a team like Columbus show how hard we work. As for Clément Diop, when he was needed today, he came out strong. We get on the pitch we think of what we have been through and it gives us the energy to be stronger. Now we have confidence, but we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We will fight for every point. We know the quality that Bojan has. He knows what he can bring to the team. He has shown that he can be back to his best in the last games."
