Video: Goalkeeper Nathan Trott’s “Brilliant” Saves
Stoke City beat Nathan Trott and his West Ham United U18 teammates, despite the best efforts of the Bermudian goalkeeper who made a couple of key saves the commentator describes as “brilliant” and “wonderful.”
Mark Phillips conceded that the better team on the night managed to qualify for the FA Youth Cup 4th round as Stoke City beat West Ham United on penalties.
The U18s’ assistant boss praised his side for responding after conceding two quickfire goals at the start of the second half, but said Stoke deserved to go through based on chances created.
“The first goal was poor from us but they’ll see it as a good goal from their point of view. The second goal was a mistake from us put we responded well to going behind,” said Phillips.
“If I’m honest, we didn’t do enough to win the game. They had the better chances and their No7 caused us lots of problems. Overall, I think they deserved to win it in the 120 minutes.”
