To be honest, he was convinced that we were going to win as soon as they missed their penalty, because Victor has ice in his veins. He has a lot of quality with the ball, commented the goalkeeper. Victor hasn't played much this season, but he's been very good. I think he is a great centre-back, as he is always there for the team, he added.

Fortunately, Lindelof not only scored the decisive penalty, but put in a great performance throughout the 120 minutes at Wembley.
