Paulo Sousa was again proud of his team after they battled their way to victory over Derby

Paulo said after the game "We played against 14 but we had 12.

"Our supporters were outstanding to help us on a difficult pitch, it was difficult to play like I said against 14.

"We showed our spirit more than ever and it is difficult to beat us, we are well organised and I am very happy and proud of our lads.

"I don't want to speak about [Pintado's sending off]. I say we play against 14 and I don't want to explain.

"I have already spoken with the players. We need to control our emotions much better.

"If we control our emotions we don't commit stupid fouls."
