“I am happy today they saw a performance from the team, even though it is not the result we want. What they want, I think they can be happy with the performance.”
Hughton emphasized the need to replicate this positive performance in the upcoming game, stating, “What we now need to do is put in this same type of performance in the next game, and this will give us an opportunity to go through.”
