‘It all happens so quicky, so it’s very difficult to make a decision but this is what happened and we showed what we are all about to fight until the end and come away with a draw even with one player less.’

‘We had a lot of spirit in our team and we showed a lot of character,’ added Kai. ‘I think we will learn a lot from that game, it was a hard game and both teams had a lot of quality.
‘I think the last few games have shown what we are all about and coming to a place like Liverpool and leaving with a draw is not a bad result, especially in the circumstances. I think we can learn a lot from this game and take the positives forward into the next match.’
