Ola Aina was disappointed to see Fulham fell to 3-0 defeat against Manchester City on Saturday, but won’t dwell too much on the loss.
Scott Parker’s side matched the visitors in the first-half, but succumbed to their superior firepower after the break.
“First half I felt like we really made it tough for them,” Aina told fulhamfc.com.
“We gave them a tough first half. I felt like we shut off their options, and we created a few openings of our own.
“And obviously in the second half it was a few mistakes that ends the game for us really.
“We haven’t had mistakes like that for a long time, since the beginning of the season.
“It’s frustrating that we made them because it’s not in our character, but these things happen. We’re only human.
“We have to take it on the chin and just move on. The mistakes have happened and it killed us a bit, but I feel the team still gave a good fight.”
The Whites will not be facing that calibre of opposition every week, but Aina insists that it was never viewed as a bonus fixture.
“Everyone knows about Man City, everyone knows they’re such a good side and they’ve got good depth in their squad, but we felt like we could’ve definitely got something from the game,” he said.
“If we don’t make the mistakes then we do give them a run for their money, in my opinion. But we have to just take it as it is and move onto Leeds.”
