'˜We were 2-1 up on 88 minutes and disappointed not to have seen the game out.

'˜Defensively it was a tough one to get a clean sheet '“ there were too many free-kicks against and then as they're putting balls into our box there's some danger.

'˜We repeatedly got attracted and drawn to the header too many times and, ultimately, it has cost us.

'˜It was then tough for us to then handle that situation.'
