Remy Cabella: “We played the best team in the league.
“We knew what to expect, and I don’t think we embarrassed ourselves.
“We put in a good performance, and we just have to try and get a win in the next game against Villa.
“I know what to expect now, having played against the best team.
“I know what to do. I’ve got to get out there and make sure I work harder and keep performing better each week.”
