"We knew before coming today would be a tough game," he told BBC Three Counties Radio.
"In my opinion, it was equal. In the first half, they dominated more than us but we both had good chances.
"We didn't take the chances we had, they did with two great goals. After that, in the second half we played better and had more chances, playing in the opposition half. When you dominate, you have to score and we didn't do it.
"The other team is a good team, there is nothing to say. In terms of chances and possession, it was equal but we are paying for our mistakes."
