Bowen | We need to recover quickly from the disappointment at Arsenal.

“It was a huge disappointment,” Bowen said. “I think with the way we started the game, the goals we conceded and the position we found ourselves in at 4-0 in the 36th minute, it was never going to be good.

“At 4-2 we thought it could have been a different game and we felt the energy. It was much better from our side, but we missed another penalty and from that point on things get difficult.

“There’s not much to lose at this stage and we just needed the third goal to give us a little more confidence. It wasn’t our best day and we’re disappointed that the game ended this way, but for us to lose 4-0 at home in the first half is unacceptable.

“The goals were very easy to avoid and as a team we made too many mistakes and against a top team like Arsenal you will be punished.

“I think the second penalty was a bit of a disappointing decision and it went against us in terms of consistency, but ultimately we have to sort through these decisions and there will be times when we have those decisions at our disposal.” benefit throughout the season.”
