Smith picked up the man of the match award and then admitted that Roy Keane was right to criticise him and other team mates.

'I think sometimes we need a reminder that we are at a big club. We accept criticism when it comes. We are better than that and I think that showed,’ Smith told Sky.

'It's not just Roy, he's a proud person. He told us exactly what he said. We went out there today and put in a good performance.’ Our commitment and our passion was there for everyone to see. I think today was a vital part of our season.'
