Sakho believes that he can strike up a good partnership with the 25-year-old and told the official website: “It’s always great to play with someone of his calibre

“I’d watched him on the television and to play with him on Sunday makes me proud. It motivates me to give even more to help everyone.

“It’s very important to command respect at home, because the target is always to win, but in a manner at home. I think we’ve shown everyone here that to come here is not easy, even to take just one point.”
