The Spaniard made special remarks for the South African star as he snatched the winner after coming off the bench.

"Everyone knows Dlamini can put one more gear in the team when we needed," he said.

"It didn't work the way we expected, to be honest, but it was good enough with [his] contribution, especially with that excellent goal giving us the three points.

"Important again is that everybody on the bench is ready to die for the team when they get to play one minute, and today KB was exceptional."
