Lokomotiv midfielder Alan Kasaev has told about the victory over Arsenal (3:0) in Gameweek 23 of the ROSGOSSTRAKH Russian Championship, a masterpiece by Fernandes, and the tactics.

- You appeared after the break and we scored three goals. Is it your contribution?

- It's our common contribution. We were one man up and had to capitalize on it. Fernandes scored a fantastic goal that changed the run of play. It was decisive who would score first. I think our win was logical.

- What was your task on the field?

- I had to run forward, threaten the opposition and create chances.

- This time Lokomotiv fielded four defenders.

- It had been our tactics for some time, we adopted another one at the training camp. Our defenders are all real professionals so they changed formation without problems.

- I'm sure you all knew the rivaling teams lost points in this Gameweek.

- Yes, we knew we would improve our table position if we win, we had to make no mistake. I hope it will go on like that.
