After the Stoke City victory, Manuel Fernandes, Mustafa Pektemek and İsmail Köybaşı shared their thoughts

Fernandes: It was not as easy as the score would suggest. They are a well-organised side who don’t stop working until the final whistle. But tonight, we played exceptionally well upfront and deserved to win. I think we were the best team in this group.
Pektemek: It looked like they came here for a draw, and in the first half, they got more than they wanted. But the second half was a different story. I am happy to contribute with a goal.
Köybaşı: They scored because of my mistake, but I am glad we made up for it in the second half. Now, we will have some time off until our next Europa League match. Due to our busy schedule, we all need a bit rest.
