Sergei Shirokov: "Our goalkeeper saved us"

- After scoring your goal, you turned to Dynamo's fans.

- The main thing is that I scored a goal, nothing else matters.

- Everyone is calling your staring contest with Dynamo supporters the picture of the day.

- I didn't say a word to them. The most important thing is that we won. It was a tough game, we found it difficult at the beginning. The goalkeeper played brilliantly, he saved us and we scored at the right time. Now, we have to recover and prepare for the next match in Saint Petersburg.

- You scored immediately after Dynamo made it a 1:1 game. Was this the match's turning point?

- It's difficult to say. It's great that we took the lead before the break and killed 3 on 4 and 4 on 5 Dynamo powerplays. This is why we won. We blocked a lot of shots and won one on one duels. There are problems with our organisation, but we won and move on to the next game.

- How was it playing without Pavel Datsyuk?

- We are a united team and everyone does their job. Of course it was tough, he is a big loss but hopefully he will be fine.

- Did SKA receive any injuries in today's game?

- Both teams are hurting, but you can't pay attention to this. Difficult matches are ahead of us.

- Were your nervous when Dynamo made a coach's challenge for your goal?

- No. Our job is to play, not get nervous. It was a clean goal.

- When Patrik Hersley scored an own goal, did you support him?

- These things happen, it's not a big deal. Our goalkeeper was excellent today. After that incident, everything was calmer from our point of view.
