“I’m never going to say it’s done until it’s done,’ Solskjaer said in his post-match conference. “You’ve seen so many examples of teams hanging in there: do your own jobs and something might happen.

“We’ve got to be there just in case, but every game is important. Every time we get three points we’ve done our job. That’s what we’ve got to do and then see what other teams do.

“We had to find a way to win it in the second half. The first half wasn’t up to the standard we wanted. It took us to half time to get our legs and energy.”
