He raged to reporters: "I felt like I didn't get a decision all game. I felt a bit frustrated. We felt like we deserved more. Sometimes the decisions don't go your way. We move on, build on that and try to get into the Europa League next year.

"It doesn't feel like you're playing against 11 men, it feels like you're playing against 13 or 14 including the two linos. You have to keep pushing and try and make the decisions go your way, but they just weren't. We had to keep playing our way and keep being professional.

"We're very proud of ourselves - three back-to-back years in European quarter-finals is unbelievable, I would never have thought that. We were a yo-yo team - into Europe, then fighting for relegation."
