Howe later said:  “It was a strange game. We didn’t have any goalmouth action, but I felt we were good in the game. I felt we nullified them pretty well. In the main, I think we controlled it pretty well.

“It’s really gutting to concede the goal at the end. I felt like we’d weathered the storm and would see the game out. We defended crosses well, but one moment cost us today. In two games, we’ve let a lot of points slip.”

On Dan Burn, he added: “Dan’s been nursing an ankle problem for the last few weeks. It’s a gigantic performance from him, all things considered. I don’t think he deserved that goal today.”
