Following the game, Matip admitted that his side are no longer in the Premier League title race and said: “We gave them the opportunities.
“It was not like they played the perfect balls, we gave them the opportunities – we have to stop the mistakes.”Most teams at home with the stand in their back are always stronger. (Away from home) I am a defender and I should take care of this.
“We don’t think about the title race at the moment, we only try to get back in a good mood for next week.”
