00:00 Torgan, not the greatest game today, just sum it up, how did you see it?

00:12 It was a bit unfortunate, this double foul, you know, recently before the end of the first half,

00:19 and then two yellow cards and then one player less on the field.

00:23 I think that was a game-changing moment, so a little bit unlucky,

00:27 because I think we had a much more important position at the end of the game,

00:33 but always unfortunate, I guess.

00:36 How did you see that red card, was it a bit of sort of stupidity from Thomas Sassante with the tackles?

00:40 I think these were two very unlucky situations, I think it was two times yellow card,

00:45 you can do that, but it was a bit unlucky.

00:49 And before that, in the first half, did you feel that Albion were the better side in that first half

00:53 and looked more likely to score?

00:55 I think so, I think we were much closer to scoring a goal than Sunderland,

01:00 I think we had much more forward position, so that was the game-changing moment.

01:05 In the second half, they had a go, didn't get there in the end, it was a defeat,

01:10 other teams have lost, so nothing's really changed in the play-off picture,

01:13 do you still think they'll get in the top six?

01:16 I think we have good chances, I'm still confident, yeah.
