"Anything I'm winning today against the five time Premier League champion against a man who is so experienced and thinking about what has been happening in my own private life so anything that I win was a bonus," said Van den Bergh post match.

"Obviously he needed to take that 101 out because I was feeling that 64 was going. I've been practicing the 64 with Damon (Heta) back home like last five days and I was feeling comfortable on that finish."

"I had chances and I pushed myself. I'm a battler, I'm a fighter I don't give up and the chances that I got I took them at the end of the day that's what got me to the one point. "

"Every game that I play in this Premier League, I'm gonna give 100% so anyone who beats me has to play well. That's how I'm feeling and I'm only going to grow."
