"Not hard but it touched a supporter, I said to them I'm sorry."

On the game, Emery said: “I think the key today was the first 45 minutes where we controlled the match the way we wanted and we scored, had good chances to get the second but their goalkeeper saved two good actions.

“We controlled possession but not with creating chances against them. We couldn’t do our ideas on the pitch.”
