King said afterwards, "It's a hard feeling to describe. It was a tough decision. I think it was a perfectly good goal but we just have to pick ourselves up.

"That is the part of being a professional, decisions go against you and you have to bounce back. But it was tough to have a goal disallowed and concede just before half time.

"It (scoring) was one of the best feelings I have felt. Hopefully I can replicate it and it counts next time."

On manager Marco Silva, he added: "He is a really passionate person and that fires us up. We tired to work hard for each other, it was tough take because we deserved more.
