We didn't have a lot of the ball but I felt we were in control in periods." "We made one or two defensive errors towards the end and they punished us." <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0fgePp_0w5OJqZw00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0fgePp_0w5OJqZw00" width="1600" height="263" ><figcaption>[Credit: BBC] </figcaption></figure><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate></div></body>
