One thing that stood out for me was for almost the first time this season we actually had our midfielders making late runs when we had possession of the ball near the oppositions 18 yard box. Whether it was Dorrans, or Pena, or Holt - there was always one making a direct run pulling away defenders and creating space.
It's telling that all three of our goals came from a midfielder making either a late run (Dorrans) or doubling up leaving the opposition with two men to mark (Pena x2).
Tonight I finally think we are seeing what Pedro is trying to do with the team, the quick transitions, the midfield runs, the fight and desire very player on that park showed tonight.
Looking forward to seeing it developing even more over the next few months.
