Aribo scored the opening goal and was named Man of the Match, despite being played out of position.

The Nigerian international's goal was his second in the league this season, and Juric was full of praise for the midfielder's versatility and team ethic.

"Joe is a great guy, everything for the team," Juric told the club's official website. "He doesn't care if he is a forward, at the back or in the middle.

"Today he played left centre-back and I think he did a great second half. We worked really hard, really well, and Joe today was great."
