Lerch: "Long may it continue"

Stephan Lerch: "It was no surprise to see our opponents defend with two banks of five. Even so, we managed to create some good chances and get ourselves a comfortable advantage. From there we kept the tempo high, had several more chances and deservedly won the game. We're delighted to get the clean sheet as well, although we were never really threatened in truth. In short, we're delighted with the three points. Long may it continue."
