Mohamed Elneny feels that our 3-0 victory over Oxford United will only build confidence heading into the weekend’s north London derby.
The Egyptian midfielder headed home Fabio Vieira’s 64th-minute free-kick to finally end the hosts’ resistance at the Kassam Stadium, and set us on our way to a spot in round four against Manchester City.
However between now and then is the small matter of Premier League fixtures with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, and he believes that this hard-fought victory will increase belief in the camp going into a big few weeks.
Speaking post-match, Mo said: “We knew that today was very important for us to win because we have a derby in the next game, and we go there with the confidence to win away from home and we’re into the next round.
