The Moneys boss said: '˜I asked the players to treat it as a league game and not just a friendly.

'They did that and produced a good professional performance.

'We were very dominant, particularly in the first half before I rang the changes.

'Importantly we didn't concede which was something I was looking for after conceding three in each of our last two friendlies.'
