Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder admitted Manchester City's extra quality made the difference for Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat.

Sergio Aguero produced the one goal of the game, with Gabriel Jesus also missing a penalty.

Wilder said, "Kevin de Bruyne has found an amazing pass and the movement of Sergio Aguero, he's done that to everyone in Europe and the world, It's a great finish. After that we're behind and it's double difficult for us.

"I've got nothing but an enormous amount of pride for my team, we went toe-for-toe with them. When opportunities arise you have to show a little bit of quality and we didn't do that sadly. Games are like this are what we're here for, we've worked really hard to get here, we want no regrets and I don't think there was tonight. Everyone at this football club did the best that they can tonight.

"When teams come here, we want to make sure they go through the mixer to get a result and I do believe Pep, his staff, the players and the fans will believe it's been a difficult night for them. The goalkeeper is always going to have play well and I thought Dean Henderson did, he was excellent."
