Chris Hughton: "It was a very difficult day for us.
"We added to our own problems, certainly in that first-half period.
"We started the game, I thought, very well, coped with the game that they play, very much working off the two front players (Davies and Elmander) but I thought we coped with it very well.
"But we added to our downfall by giving away two very poor goals in that first-half period.
"And then of course, what you have got - particularly here and in the form that they're in - you've got a mountain to climb so we didn't do ourselves any favours today."
"Kevin's handballed it and I've got no arguments with that one - the second-half penalty Enrique most definitely plays the ball and I think you'll see that tonight but it didn't seem like it would be our day today.
"But no arguments with most of the decisions, as I say we added to our own downfall.
"We created chances ourselves - that was the shame - that I think if we were able to keep the scoreline down to a reasonable score then we were still very, very much in the game.
"But the game became an open game - of course, when we went down to ten men it was going to be that much more difficult for us and it was a hard afternoon for us."
