“When you see the result, I feel bad, but I don’t see it like this because when you see the first 35 minutes, we dominated the game.

“We had a lot of chances to score goals but we had a mistake with our goalkeeper – this can happen, we stand behind him – but in the first half we didn’t give up and we dominated the game.

If Yak (Yakou Meite) takes the chance where he hits the post, I think after the game we would be speaking about a different result.

“But it didn’t happen and we lost the game, in the second half it is not easy to come from 2-0 back.

"We have to forget this game as quickly as possible. This happens, and we still can change everything. I believe we have a good team this season, and we will try to build on what we did last season.

"We will build on the first 45 minutes from today. We've shown good football, exciting football - only the goals are missing. Next week is a derby, and I hope we will come with goals."

“The anticipation of coming here today, we wanted to get three points, that was the main objective and we have come away scoring five goals, being clinical and looking pretty deadly really. So overall it is a fantastic day for us.

“Cardiff are a good side and they caused us a few problems early on, they got a foothold, but the team adjusted and as the game went on we took a real control.

“We were deadly in our moments as we have been. The execution was amazing from the players.

“The stadium was rocking today. The fanbase are vital for us.”
