Joao Pedro initially gave the Premier League club from west London the lead, but substitute Ollie Watkins netted two goals, securing all three points for the visitors.

“I believe the goal we conceded definitely altered the game's dynamics. Up until that point, we were in control,” Maresca stated.

“We must be more clinical. We ought to have scored two or three goals before they found the net. We need to manage the game more effectively.”
