"Not the game we wanted. We obviously wanted a lot more control," McGinn said.

We started the game well, Morgan had a chance and it was a good save at 0-0. A goal was disallowed, I've not seen it back so I'm not sure if it was, it looked a bit soft initially but I don't know.

"They go 1-0 up, marginally onside, I think. We react pretty well, to be honest, and then we lose another goal, but it happens, they're a good side.

But we certainly wanted more control of the game, we wanted to get a victory going over to Greece, but we showed we're more than capable of coming back and we proved that at 2-2.

And then the penalty, that's football, things happen. They score the penalty. I gave it away at 4-2, I don't know why I've played the pass, I can carry on.

Just mistakes all round. So, of course, we're going to take responsibility, but it's up to us to go to Athens next week and turn it around because I know we're capable."
