Artur Jorge was full of praise for his striker after the victory against Union Berlin and rightly so, saying he has “very special characteristics”, and is “one of the few Portuguese strikers in the Primeira Liga who is a pure '9', extremely combative and who gives us comfort with ability to finish.

Matheus came up big at the other end, the keeper playing his part in the victory with two sharp saves.
