Our under-19s suffered an opening day defeat in the UEFA Youth League as we lost 3-1 to Athletic Club in Bilbao.
Two goals from Manex Lozano and a late penalty from Elijah Gift gave the hosts the victory, despite Brando Bailey-Joseph's goal just 17 seconds into the second half.
What happened
Athletic Club, making their first appearance in this competition in over a decade, created the first chance of the contest as Lozano flicked his header into the path of Igor Oyono, but Jack Poter stood firm to produce a superb close-range save before clawing away Xanti Oyharcabal's dangerous cross.
