Gary Bowyer: "We took a Premier League team all the way"
“We started the game ever so well and had two shouts for penalties,” says the Burton Albion gaffer in a chat with the BBC. “We took a Premier League team all the way to the last minute of extra time. We had some really good key moments today but were not able to captalise on them.”
On the Mavropanos-on-Beesley penalty shout: “If that was outside of the box it gets give 10 times out of 10,” he says. He’s not wrong.
Nuno Espirito Santo: "We came on strong with chances"
“We knew it would be tough,” says West Ham’s head coach in a BBC interview. “We were able to contain them in the aspect of set pieces and the throw-ins. We did that in the first half and then in the second half, we came on strong with chances.
“Then Summerville gave us a hand. He is in a good moment, he is helping out the team. This is what we expect from them. This is a magical competition. It is unique. We have a lot of respect. Today we came through, the draw is Monday. We go day by day.”
On Freddie Potts’ red card: “What I know for sure if Freddie is not a violent player. He is aggressive but is always very fair. I did not see it and cannot judge the decision of the referee.”
