Disappointed Slaven on late setback

Slaven Biliu0107 says conceding a late equaliser at Barnsley was naturally disappointing but admits the hosts were worthy of their last-minute goal to draw 1-1 against the Baggies.

Albion led from the fifth minute against the Tykes, however a resolute away performance was undone with moments to play as Aapo Halme netted from close range for the hosts.

“It is disappointing because we conceded a very late goal but to be fair they deserved it,” said the Baggies boss.

“We went one up and then in the first half especially, but also in the second half, we had many situations where we came out of pressing and we were rushing and we were offside a few times when it was an open pitch for us and we didn’t have to rush into those positions but we did.
