Solskjaer continued: “Their shape and their pressing is very aggressive. We created our own downfall.

“The second goal you probably expect no foul there then it’s a bad moment to concede just before half-time. The third goal we gave them and that’s really poor.

“The attitude was right and the focus was fine, we were ready for it. We didn’t build on the good times.

“We should have gone more for it at the start of the game. Sometimes we let them off the hook and let them play out.”
