Sevilla coach Diego Alonso says they must accept their 1-1 draw with Villarreal.

Alonso felt they did enough to win on the day.

He said, "The game had to have fallen on our side. A lot of effort, we generated a lot in the first half. In the second, Villarreal also had some chances, but we continued generating, generating, generating. You just have to swallow and when you play this way, like we did in the Champions League or in the second half at Anoeta, you will get stronger. We have to continue believing in the team's potential.

"Rarely until now have we been able to be ahead on the scoreboard. Against Madrid and they tied us early, and today the same thing happened. We didn't have the peace of mind to know the game we had to continue playing and it couldn't be.

"The team continued after the tie, had chances to make it 2-1. Football has been unfair to the players, the staff, the coaching staff, the people.

"The only thing left to do is keep working, insisting, I don't know any other way."
