"To come here and win is certainly not easy, that is for sure," Potter told BT Sport. "Credit to the players. They were really good, I thought. Obviously, we get a bit of luck with the opponent going down to 10 men but I thought overall the performance was good."

Potter also explained the decision to withdraw Mount at the interval - the England international having been the outstanding player on the pitch in the first half.

"He was on a yellow card and has played a lot of games so we just thought it would be sensible at half-time to give him a breather. But I thought he was fantastic, got into good spaces and attacked the goal well, won the penalty for us and was a constant threat."
