What Dean Smith had to say on Keinan Davies goal?
I'm really pleased for Keinan (Davies), he's a really hard-working boy. Since I've been here. He's had a few niggling injuries, but this season, we've managed him really well and that first Premier League goal will do him the world of good. We've just played Liverpool and Man City and we pushed both of them. At Liverpool it was a last-minute goal and against City, they're Man City against anyone. We fully deserved at least a draw today
