Ultimately, the post and a lack of quality prevented them from finding a killer second goal, and City were forced to settle for a point against Ruben Selles’s side.

“I think the performance today, especially the second half and after the first 15 minutes, deserved a win,” the Manchester City loanee reflected post-match.
“We had some good chances, especially in the second half, with set pieces and getting crosses in. It’s not a bad point, but we’re disappointed we didn’t get all three.
“We started slow and weren’t up to speed. We didn’t quite get the press right, and we weren’t aggressive enough off the ball. It led to them having one chance and taking it, and then we’re playing catch-up after that.
“You can’t start slow. You can’t use excuses like ‘we’ve never played together before’, we’ve trained together enough, we know what’s being asked of us, and we’ve got to make sure that we go out and perform from minute one.”
