Warne said: "It's tough to take but that's football. We could have easily played a different way but our intention was to win the game. So was theirs.

"Overall we thought two teams went for it. With a bit of luck on our side we could have won but it wasn't to be.

"Neither team were disrespectful to the cup. Both teams went for it. Unfortunately I'm just the manager of the team that lost.

"We limited them to very few chances and I always thought it would be a set-piece that would settle it.

"One slice of fate does not deter that - the lads gave me everything.

"If we would have performed poorly and still lost 1-0 then I think we would have bigger issues. We controlled the game pretty well.

"There were good performances all round. I thought we controlled the first half and defended well."
