Fresh after scoring in his first Premier League start, Riccardo Calafiori has been speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am so happy to have scored and I am a bit disappointed that we didn't win.

"It was so tough. We reacted really good and the second half was extremely tough - more mentally than physically."
