Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I think everybody who watched the game could see how nervous we are in the first half, making so many easy mistakes and then a great keeper saving a penalty, which was important.
"Then the second half we said before let's keep a clean sheet, we're able to score goals again and we had a very good impact off the bench with Evann [Guessand] deciding the game. Also the red card helped us, so today many things were very positive. Also, the fans were pushing us to the end to get this win and that was a big and massive win and a big relief for all of us."
On where the nerves are coming from: "In the last months if you're in a negative run it's so noisy the whole time. The whole transfer window is noisy to the end and then many things are happening and our expectations around the club and within the team are higher than ever before. we are not really pleased when performances are not right.
"I think the win today will help us but it's the same now for us its a first small step. The first step to the right direction was the away win at Brighton and now the second small step forward and getting this confidence back and I'm sure the structure will be better and better and the results will be better and better."
