Moyes: “They are all at it for each other “

David Moyes handed out enormous credit to the players for their performances against Arsenal declaring: “It was another really difficult game and we knew this period was going to be tough.

And he added: “I have to give the players great credit because we defended really well, we are more resolute and harder to play against.

“Sometimes, when you do that, you get the odd chance that you can win the game with and, as you saw, that nearly happened.

“It would have been greedy but if you had seen the way the players have worked in recent weeks, and what we’ve demanded of them, you would have said your work deserved that.

“All credit to them because they have really pulled together. The spirit at the training ground is really good. They’re all at it for each and they’re not giving an inch, and we don’t want them to.”
