Corberan said afterwards: "Scoring three goals is nice, but conceding three is less nice . To win we had to be more defensively strong. Attacking doesn't stop you from defending better at many moments of the game.
"In defence we were not as tight as we should have been. We should have defended the result with the ball and we didn't do it."
The coach then added, "Sadiq arrived very committed and eager to work.
"We are going to give him the confidence he needs to continue helping the team."
