“Tom (Souček) had a header that was saved. We had a couple of entries into their box and started really on the front foot. And then, a mistake happens. You know, I think everyone makes mistakes in football. It’s one of those things. ‘Phonse didn't let his head drop.
“And I think as a group, we didn't let our heads drop. We kept going, but then we conceded a soft set-piece and we didn’t defend it well enough.

Bowen was put through the wringer himself across the course of the afternoon, suffering a cut above his eye when colliding with the post in the opening period, then scoring his 12th goal of the campaign late on.
He said he suffered no lasting ill effects from his first half injury - just the disappointment of defeat.
He continued: “The goal was just one of those where the ball fell to me. And it was just a case of putting your foot through it, make sure you touch it right, hit it and hit it on target. I managed to do that.
“I was just trying to leave everything out there as well as I know that I can do - I might lose the ball here and there, I might dribble and run into a crowd or lose the ball, but, I think with me, it's always wanting to try and be the difference or create something for the team. I'll never try and hide away from that.
