EPL: Liverpool thrashing very hurtful; difficult to sleep – Antony

Manchester United winger Antony admitted he had a tough time after their humiliation against Liverpool.

The Brazilian started in the 7-0 drubbing at the hands of their arch rivals in the Premier League on Sunday.

However, the same eleven players were given a chance to redeem themselves in a 4-1 win over Real Betis on Thursday.

“We came from an extremely hurtful defeat and it was hard to sleep that day,” said Antony post-game, per The Mirror.

“But in football you can’t cry about the past. We know that result is never acceptable.

“It was important to show a reaction [against Betis]. I was very happy to see the fans showing their support.

“There’s always 70,000 or more fans in this stadium, it’s impressive. They are our fuel. We will put this club where it deserves to be.”

“Our fans are incredible,” added Antony.

“Even after the match at Anfield. We went to applaud the away fans and they sang back. It gave me goosebumps.

“I’m so happy to see them here giving us the same support, even after that unacceptable result. And they will be back to give us our fuel against Southampton on Sunday.

“We know it’s harder for the manager, as he’s the face of the club giving interviews all the time. It was hard for him, for all of us, and we took it as a lesson.

“He was hard on us in the right way at the right time. But we’re all facing what’s ahead of us now. The group is united and the fans are on our side, that’s the most important thing.”
