“We feel disappointed with the result,” Emery said.

“Some of the mistakes we made tonight were not normal, but we have to try to add some players into the team and try to get balance with them in every competition we are going to face.

“We started at the beginning controlling the game – not being very efficient at getting into their box but controlling with ball possession.

“The injury to Leon Bailey and their goal was when we were a little bit nervous. In the first half, we tried to change something to get responsibility for some players.

“In the second half, we started well but only for three or four minutes as we made another mistake and they scored. Then it was very difficult to come back and get a result.”
