"They worked extremely hard, they're fighting for their lives, they frustrated us and caused us problems, so we're delighted with the win.
"We didn't quite get to the levels we know we can. But I think a lot of that can be put down to the amount of energy we exerted in midweek against Chelsea, and the fact that we had a lot of new guys playing at Ewood Park for the first time and others who haven't played for a long time.
"With two or three minutes to go, we've just had a guy harshly sent off, so you don't know whether just to hang on for the draw, but Morten's as good as anyone in that position. He can go either way and his technique is as good as I've seen from anyone."
