Yohan Cabaye: "The manager trusted me and the club trusted me, and I want to give them back this confidence on the pitch.

"For me, it's a new role being captain.

"My English is not very good to speak in the dressing room, I just want to lead the team on the pitch and I hope I am doing well.

"As for the free-kick, I wanted to move the ball back, but the referee didn't want me to.

"I just wanted to hit the target. The wall was so tall and I couldn't put any pace on my shot. I just wanted to hit the target.

"I love this kind of free-kick and I practise them a lot on the training ground, so I am very happy.

"It's fantastic because it was a very difficult game, a very tough game. Stoke came here with a nice shape, a nice unit, 4-4-2, and it was very difficult for us to play.

"But we won the game at the end and for us, it was fantastic."
