Watch the highlights below.
“We’re very disappointed that we didn’t come away with anything because I think we deserved to. We’re not afraid of anyone at the moment. We see ourselves beating pretty much anyone we play…we didn’t get the result we wanted to, but there are a lot of positives to take,” says James Garner. [EFC]
“He [Andre Gomes] is only just back in and around it. He played a full 90 minutes [for the Under-21s] to lock in being able to take it. I wasn’t expecting him to come on that early in the game. I’ve said all along I can see a future for him at the Club and that I want him around the group, but he’ll have to earn it like everyone else. He’s had a really tough time but to see him out there today was terrific and I thought his performance was excellent once he got into the swing of the game. He was very, very good,” says Sean Dyche.

Not the result we wanted but we didn’t stop fighting for something more.
Missed this Matchday energy and already looking forward for more!
