"I can't fault the lads. I'm truly proud – we played bravely in every aspect of the game. We deserved a different result because we were the better team on the pitch.

"We have to continue working in this direction. We lost the match, but we proved we can beat anyone in the Premier League," Amorim said, as reported b Sportal.

The manager also commented on the goalkeeping situation. "Onana hasn't been dropped from the squad and is still in contention. Tom and Altay performed excellently during pre-season. I'm happy with all three of our goalkeepers," Amorim added.
