Speaking in a post-match interview with ITV Sport, a visibly disappointed Rogers rued his team’s inability to capitalize on key moments despite matching the Reds for large spells of the encounter.
“It is probably the worst way to lose a game,” Rogers admitted. “It was an even game and at times we had the better of it. I had half chances that I’d have liked to have put away. It was one of them that can go either way and you have to accept it.”
