Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe had no complaints after their 1-0 home defeat to Champions League opponents Borussia Dortmund.

Former Manchester City trainee Felix Nmecha struck the winner on the night.

Howe later said: "Tactically they were good and gave us problems in central areas. In the second half we were a lot better and unfortunately the ball would not go in.

"The intention was there but we're up against elite teams. You make half a mistake and get punished.

"We grew into the game in the second half with the chances we created and the woodwork denied us. Now we have to do it the hard way in the group.

"It is going to be difficult but were in the Champions League. Nothing comes easy. You know you're going to have to win in some tough places. Now we need to dust ourselves down and be ready for next week.

"We need to sit down and analyse the game. When you play a team so quickly again we need to work out how we adjust and see if we can go there and get a result.

"I don't think we deserved to lose today."
