When it went to VAR, I thought, ‘This is going to be overturned, it’s a clear error’. It’s as clear a penalty as I’ve seen.

00:00What do you think of a huge disappointment for the players?

00:06It changed with a huge disappointment for us because I think I'm really disappointed for the players.

00:11We deserve to win that game, in my opinion anyway.

00:15The only disappointment I think from that first half, because I think that's the best we've played,

00:19was that we weren't further ahead, had the chances, played with real energy and intensity and quality.

00:26Great to see us creating the big moments in their penalty box.

00:31Obviously a huge disappointment when we haven't won the game with the effort we've given.

00:36I thought the Anthony Gordon one was the standout one for me.

00:38I think anywhere else on the pitch that's a blatant free kick.

00:42When it went to VAR and of course they checked everything, I thought this was going to be overturned.

00:48It's a clear error because that's a clear penalty as I've seen.

00:53I think the defender only focuses on Ant.

00:56They've said it's shielding but I don't agree with that analysis.

00:59So really disappointed that wasn't given.

01:01You can never do this.

01:02It's friendly, everyone.

01:03This is a code of operation.

01:04This will be what I've seen before you.

01:05I think there's a rule in the cut.

01:06It's a cách of the control.

01:08And it's frencher.

01:09It has been suggested and then we don't worry about it.

01:11Let's get together.

01:12And for any reason.

01:13Let's go to the other one.

01:14We can do something.

01:15Let's get together.

01:16Let's get together.

01:17We can do something else.

01:19We can do something else today.

01:22Let's try to do something else.

01:24We can do something else.

01:26We can do something else,
