Slot said: “I think we were all disappointed, not only Trent, about the result. There were parts of our game we were happy with but others we were not happy with, it wasn’t only Trent, there were other things we could have done better.
“Trent didn’t play his best game, but that’s not for the first time in his life, he’s played so so many good games for this club, it just wasn’t his best, like it also wasn’t the best for others. But we have to pick up and train again, like Trent is today.”
