Brentford boss Keith Andrews, chatting with BBC MOTD: “To concede pretty late after making some changes to manage the game a little bit but I have to say overall it was probably a fair result. They had a particularly good second half, I thought we controlled a lot of the first half in that they had a couple moments but we controlled it. Then in the second half, the momentum shifted a little bit in their way, we scored and it was disappointing we couldn’t see it out.”
On being cautious within the recreation: “The table doesn’t lie. We faced a Leeds team who are a pretty different prospect to a team from three weeks ago, the results they’ve had against the big teams and the performances they’ve probably deserved them. We knew it was going to be very difficult, they’ve changed the system and the way they play so we were always very respectful but I like I said, overall I think it was probably a fair result.”

On Jordan Henderson and his objective: “He played a slightly different role today slightly more advanced, I gave him the opportunity to get forward more. He finished it reasonably well with the help of a little nick.”
On defending the Dominic Calvert-Lewin objective: “Always disappointing. Calvert-Lewin doesn’t really need much in terms of what he’s about. We knew his big strengths, everyone in our dressing room knew his strengths – so it’s stopping crosses beating him and in that scenario we didn’t do that.”
