Tony led Al Ahli to a 4-0 win over Al Ettifaq in round 19 of the Saudi Roshen Pro League.

Tony, in post-match remarks, said: 'We give our all in every match, and we secure victories, and that is certainly the most important'.

Tony added: 'We want to keep the wins as Al Hilal stumble, in order to seize the Roshen top, and we will start preparing for the next match against the leader'.

He continued: 'Goals are important, but I focus only on winning the league and making Al Ahli fans happy'.

He concluded by talking about penalties, saying: 'Happy to hit opponents nets, and I won't tell you the secret of this perpetual scoring style'.

Tony raised his total penalties for Al Ahli to 23 spot kicks, achieving a perfect record, having never missed before.
