OM-OL (3-2): Habib Beye's reaction

The match

My voice is a bit hoarse, it will be worse tomorrow. It's very satisfying. We knew that the scenario would be different from Brest. These are always hard-fought matches. The scenario is fantastic for the players and the supporters.

The scenario

It comes down to details, there's an element of luck involved. You make your own luck, you go out and get it. We conceded a goal but we put them under pressure, we had chances, seven shots, Rulli made an incredible save. We were consistent.

The final sprint

It's a never-ending cycle. We have to enjoy it, but we have another match in three days. The work was done during the week, we pushed the players to their limits. They worked hard, without complaining. I'm here to bring a slightly different style of play. We need to work on our momentum. We had a dip around the 70th minute but we managed to bounce back.

Igor Paixão

Quinten Timber dislocated his shoulder, the pain was too much. There's space on that side. Mason Greenwood was provocative and incisive. Igor has qualities, his goal is fantastic. I want to see him play with a smile. He deserves what's happening to him, just like Aubameyang and his brace.

The key

We had three players in midfield, we closed down their first pass, they moved out wide. They're a good team. We had the ball tonight. We were good in spells. We were very compact. We're happy with what the players gave.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

I'm not discovering him tonight. He scores a lot. He played like a leader, he sets an example. A striker can go 80 minutes without a chance and then score two goals in the last 10 minutes and still have a successful game. The first goal was magnificent. I'm happy for the club, but also for Mr McCourt and Mr Benatia. Tomorrow, people will go to work with a smile on their faces.

The state of the troops

Amine Gouiri was a bit off today, we'll see on Monday and Tuesday. Timber is injured. Pierre-Emile is suspended. Kondogbia and he made a great pair tonight. We have the players to replace him. The substitutes made an impact.

The armband

Balerdi had a great game. I saw him and explained why I wanted to relieve him of that responsibility. We have a lot of captains in the team. I've worn the armband, I know it's important. Leo had a great attitude about it. He's a great defender.

Lyon

If he thinks Lyon was the better team... It was a difficult match, a battle. We're happy to have experienced this scenario.
