He said: “I was particularly delighted about the way we played. We played well, especially in the first part of the game.
“We created a few chances and got our goal and then obviously there was an incident in the game in our favour (Morecambe’s Kevin Ellison sent-off), we took our foot off the pedal and allowed Morecambe to be in an around the game.
“This was very dangerous because Morecambe are a very dangerous team.

“To be honest with you I thought Morecambe probaly had better possession and probably had more chances throughout the game.”
Kewell said his side got back into top gear in the closing stages of the second half.
“Towards the end of the game, yes, we created one or two chances and we could have buried them, but we didn’t.
“But overall, I was very happy with the away win.”
