On conceding twice in two minutes, Edwards lamented: “It’s not the first time it’s happened. It happened to us last week.

"We didn’t want to go 1-0 down, and we can break that goal down, because there’s lots of things we’re not happy with, but to concede in the way we did immediately after, after it happened last week, is so frustrating.

"We won the ball back, we gave it away straight away, we don’t go and close down quick enough on the opposite side, and we don’t defend well enough, then the who place goes through the roof.

“But to be fair to the players, we carried on going, we pushed, we reorganised, and with the overall performance, there wasn’t much in the game, but in those big moments, they were better than us."

Edwards also said: “I thought we were applying real pressure. We were pressing well, (Karl) Darlow has made a massive and brilliant save, Rodrigo has had a great opportunity when he was through one-on-one, we had the offside goal, and we were pushing. But we couldn’t find it.

“The third one was the final nail in the coffin. It wasn’t a penalty. I’ve looked at it back, probably from every angle, and Hugo’s got across and won the ball. I don’t understand why it wasn’t overturned, and at 3-0, it looked a lot worse.

“At 2-0, you still don’t know, but I’m standing here moaning about a third goal we conceded, so it’s frustrating."
