He said: «The second half was ours, control of the game was ours, obviously, in terms of possession, but in the first half we weren't dynamic enough in the top end of the pitch. »Everything we spoke about at the start of the game, it was too slow.

We start the second half, overlap and score and make sprints, movements and we score. Whether it's a fair result I don't know, but we have to do more to win the game.” Premier LeagueSterling
