He later said, “We started the game well. We could have won but got a point. We need to look forward.

“We conceded in the first half but knew we could win this game. We tried to score at the beginning of the second half. We wanted to win.”

On the penalty, Pedro added: “I tried to control the ball and then (Saliba) hit me. It’s good that I scored. I always try to be positive with goals and assists. I like the feeling (of scoring) and hopefully I’ll score more.”
