Gareth Barry: "At the time I felt I just got up and Nicky Shorey was just standing there.

"I probably went over the top of him. I'm delighted the referee hasn't seen it as a foul.

"You have got to [keep going] at this level. We scored so many late goals last season and a few this year.

"Those late goals can be so important at the end of the season and hopefully that will be another one.

"It is very important. When there is a little gap it is important you don't slip away too much further.

"If we can keep chipping away we are going to be there at the end of the season."
