Norwich defender Gibson: Liverpool proved themselves a level above

Norwich City defender Ben Gibson spoke of his disappointment at his team's FA Cup loss to Liverpool.

The Championship side put in a spirited display at Anfield against the title challenging Reds.

While Gibson feels they gave a good account of themselves, he does wish they could have secured a replay.

"We're obviously disappointed," Gibson said post-game to Canaries TV.

"To be out of the cup and to concede five. They're obviously a level above, and you've got to perfect and hope they have an off day.

"We're left kicking ourselves about the manner of some of the goals. We could've done better, albeit they are a strong side. The margin of error in a game like this is so much smaller than what we see week in week out.

"The top players are at this level for a reason. A big learning curve for some of the lads who haven't been at this level, but it's something to aspire to."
