“We’re really disappointed, I think we all knew we played well enough and should have won the game,” he said.

“Their first goal was a joke, it's an offside one anyway but there's a foul in the build-up to it. It’s a tough one to take.

“When you concede two in the last few minutes it feels like a defeat but it’s not a defeat, it’s a draw against a very good side so we’ll have to take the point and move on.”
