Postecoglou was left disappointed by his team’s profligacy and told football.london: “Disappointing outcome. Very dominant first half, really wasteful in front of goal. We started the second half similar. First 15-20 minutes very dominant, wasteful but you know at 1-0 there is always an opportunity for the opposition to come back into the game.

“That’s what happened and we lost our way for 15 or 20 minutes. We lost our composure and the crowd got behind them, but again finished strong. Just really disappointed we lacked a little cutting edge in the front third, made some poor decisions, lacked some composure and didn’t get the reward our football deserved.”
