THE FUSE

Speaking to TNT Sports after the final whistle, Van Dijk was candid about the challenges his side faced and admitted that there is one positive thing they still have. He said: "Tough. Tough work, which was expected. I think we defended with a lot of bodies around the box. Unfortunately, the first goal is a deflection. We had some small moments on the break where we could have done better. Obviously I’m not happy losing here whatsoever, the only positive thing is that we have another game to play next week. But now obviously it’s a quick turnaround and Fulham waiting for us as well."
