Everton's Jagielka: It was Frey's night

Everton defender Phil Jagielka has reflected on his missed penalty in Wednesday night's shootout defeat to UEFA Cup opponents Fiorentina.

"It was his night," said Jagielka of Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frey when speaking with evertonTV.

"Things just hit him. If he came out for a cross and he missed it, then somebody else will be there to clear it and obviously in the penalties he managed to guess right and get a hand on mine.

"I felt a little bit numb. I don't think I took a particularly bad penalty, but you can't say it was a good penalty unless it goes in.

"I'll go home a little bit gutted at missing the penalty, but I'll have to come back with my head held high on Friday."
