"I felt like we were dominant, to be fair," Collins said.

"Obviously they had a few chances as well, which is natural in the Premier League, but I felt overall we were dominant.

"I felt we were the better side with the better chances, other than the penalty.

"I'm just enjoying my football and that's all I want to do.

"All I ever wanted to do in life is play football, so I'm just enjoying it.

"The gaffer and the lads give me freedom and I like the style of play we're playing, so I'm grateful."

He added: "It's all happened quickly but I've taken it in my stride.

"I'm just enjoying my football and I'll keep getting myself better and better. I'm working hard, that's all I can do.

"I want to be the best – be the best I can possibly be. I have to keep working hard and I know that.

"That's all I ever wanted growing up, to play in the Premier League and play for Ireland.

"Now that I have that, I want more, and I'll keep chasing it."
