“It was so important today because we wanted to bounce back from the last game," Ogbonna told Sky Sports.

“I think it was very, very important [to win]. We kept a clean sheet and got what we deserved today.

“It was a totally hard game, but I think the players in the middle of the park, like Tomas [Souček] and Dec [Rice], played fantastically. They helped us to keep a clean sheet."

Asked if he would target further goals this season, the Italian smiled: “I wish, as long as I don't concede!

“That is the most important thing but if I can help the team [score], I'm very glad."
