Cole Palmer's assist marked his 15th goal involvement in 20 appearances this season, how impressed have you been with his adjustment?
Very impressed. I think he arrived the last day of the transfer window and his performance after six months, was incredible. We are so happy. Today a little bit disappointed with him because he didn't score a big chance he has. He is still young and still needs to improve in different areas, not only inside the pitch but outside. He needs to understand many things but I think he is improving a lot and he is a very good player for us and he is doing fantastic and I am so pleased.
How important was it for Armando Broja to score today in the absence of Nicolas Jackson?
It's really important for him but I need to be honest, I think he needs to use this type of game to improve. Not only in his fitness or his capacity for work ethic, he needs to step up and move forward and smile more and be more positive in the way he needs to improve in his game. The potential is amazing, we are talking about a young striker here in England or Europe, with one of the most potential. He needs to push himself, and we are going to try to help, to realise it's never enough and work really hard.
By the way, he has suffered in the past a big injury, nearly one year away and now needs time. It's not easy for him to perform or to be at the level that we expect. Our expectation is massive and we really need him and will push him.
