Pedro Neto, who has scored two goals in the Premier League this season, said, "I think we played very well in the second half and deserved the victory. We always implemented the game plan, remained patient, and finally got the winning goal. To be honest, we could have scored a few more goals in the final stage to make the game easier, but this victory is fair and we are all very happy."

"Every player wanted to play and that shows how important the depth of the squad is. Everyone contributed, whether starting or coming off the bench. All the substitutes played an important role. I scored a goal, which made me very happy, while Giou, Nkunku and Gusto all played a role in the game, and even Charlo's defense in the last five minutes was crucial."

In addition, Pedro Neto also said, "It is never easy to fall behind and then turn around in the Premier League, especially considering our recent state. But the team performed very well. We played with the belief of winning and finally succeeded in the reversal."

"We are growing and the most important thing is to keep building on this win. There can be no let-up in the Premier League, so we have to keep this mentality and try to improve in every game."
