“The Coach asked me to go at 1,000 km/h when I came on,” Kessié told Sky after the match.

“We had to get a win before Christmas. It was a difficult game, but the team is high up because we’re winning different kinds of matches.

“First we thought about safety, now things are going well and we’re thinking about a European place.”
