The Spaniard also registered our only on-target effort of the evening, saved by Bernd Leno late on.

With a decisive Carabao Cup semi-final tie against Tottenham awaiting us on Thursday night he knows our return to form must be swift. ‘We made silly mistakes,’ he said. ‘We provoked them to gain confidence and come to press us because we were making mistakes.
