"I know the history. I'm happy. I'm happy for Kiyan because he's working hard in the training. He's improving a lot in training sessions and today when the game was in a very difficult moment, we decided to change the system. We use Kiyan like number nine. And of course, I'm very happy about his success in his role because he's a young player. When a young player has amazing games, I'm very happy," said Juan Ferrando in a post-match press conference.

"In the last couple of days a lot of our fans, our supporters write a lot of messages about this important game. I know the feelings, I know the emotions. I'm happy for them because this night they are happy with these three points," he added.

We have important games and I think it's very important for the confidence of the players," said the head coach.

This victory takes ATK Mohun Bagan into the semi-final spots and keeps SC East Bengal at the bottom of the ISL table. (ANI)
