Manager ‘desperately disappointed’ after defeat by Milan‘We had players that didn’t deserve to be on the losing team’
Eddie Howe maintained that several of his players did not deserve to be on the losing side after Milan’s narrow, late, win at St James’ Park ended injury-ravaged Newcastle’s European adventure.
That 2-1 defeat came as a crushing blow on a night which had begun with Howe’s team harbouring high hopes of progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League but well aware that a draw would be sufficient to earn a Europa League place. Instead Joelinton’s first-half goal was not enough as an initially overwhelmed Milan turned the game on its head after Christian Pulisic equalised.
