Mehmet Ali was pleased with elements of what he saw in our under-19s performance against PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Youth League on Wednesday afternoon.
Ethan Nwaneri opened the scoring for us at Meadow Park, but a Reuell Walters own goal and a 70th minute finish from Jason van Duiven saw the away side take all three points.
“It’s great learning for our players,” Mehmet said post-match. “I felt we had more than enough opportunities and chances to win the game. We didn’t take them and I think, at this level, if you don’t do that, you can always lose the game, so that was frustrating.
