Response

Trapattoni got just the response he wanted from his players as Marc Wilson, Jonathan Walters, Darren O'Dea and a Pol Justinussen own goal helped them to victory after a goalless first half. There was some debate about Walters' effort as Keane claimed a touch on the Stoke man's initial header, but the man with 122 caps is not overly concerned about who gets the credit. He added: "I definitely did get a little touch on it. I am sure Jon will want it, but listen, I am not really too bothered. "As long as we got the three points, that was the most important thing."
