He said at the final whistle: "It was a tough game. They are a really good team in a really good moment especially away from home. I don't think we were at our best, far from it, but we found a way to win and that's the most important thing. Picking up points, winning games at home, in front of our crowd - it means a lot.

"We're in a really good moment. We feel really confident. As a team we go out there thinking we can win every game. As a professional there is nothing better than going out there with that confidence, it's the best tool to have. We are in a good moment right now."

On what caused the turnaround from the start of the season, Rogers also said: "Just sticking true to us. That is the most important thing. We did what we always do. Nothing changed but we just worked that little bit harder, honed the details a little bit more, and gave that littlee bit more as a team. We stick together as a unit and there's no surprise that you see it in the results."

And on the impact of manager Unai Emery, he stated: "The manager's a genius. He knows what he is doing and knows how to get out of situations - he's ben in them plenty of times. The enthusiasm and the way he is stems through to us and then we have that belief and that buzz to our performances. That is what he tries to do and we try and take it on board and it's a perfect combination."
