Andrews later told the club's website: “It was a game of two halves.

“We started the game pretty well, looked dangerous, looked to play in behind them and caused them problems. We then became a little bit passive without the ball and didn’t play with enough energy and tempo.

“Towards the end of the first half, we swung it back in our favour and caused them issues, and in the second half, I thought we were outstanding - It felt more like us.

“I thought we reacted really well in the second half, played with a lot of passion, character, resilience and personality, which I was really pleased with.”

Goalscorer Jensen also said: “We started the game well, but then we lost some momentum.

“The pressure we worked on didn’t really work after the first 12 minutes - they did well with some good movements - and we became slightly too passive.

“But then we started to go man-man at the end of the first half and that worked very well, so we kept that for the second half and we were way better, closer to them, and made it more difficult for them.

“We were disappointed that they scored in the end, but it was a decent second half.”
