"We tried to adapt our behaviours in defence and be more attacking in our pitch.

"In the second half there were moments for both teams but the team was trying to create chances and have the ball more in the offensive half than we did in previous games. It's true we couldn't find a way.

"We had ways to score. Set pieces, which we did but we had a goal disallowed. Counter-attacks and we didn't counter-attack enough in the second half.”

On the disallowed goal, believed to have been ruled out because Town striker Danny Ward was offside as the ball found its way in, Corberán said: "I haven't watched it back but the feeling from the players was that it wasn't a foul.

“I know it's a complicated situation for the referee.

"It was a pity because we know a goal in a game like today can change the result.”
