Garitano: Football is cruel!

Gaizka Garitano rued how “football's still being rather cruel to us” after Deportivo La Coruna's dramatic 3-2 defeat to Sevilla on Saturday.

Depor had taken a 2-0 lead against Sevilla, until Gabriel Mercado's injury-time goal completed the turnaround for the Andalusians, leaving the former only a point above La Liga's bottom three and Garitano “frustrated”.

“We had a very good game and football's still being rather cruel to us, we deserved more and had the misfortune of losing with the last kick of the game,” the Coach said after the game.

“The referee? I prefer not to speak about the officiating.

“We made a tremendous effort against a great team, and it's a shame that we weren't rewarded for our effort, but we'll work even harder.

“We faced a great team, it's logical that they could turn things around and cause us problems.

“The key was their first goal before half-time, instead of us going in at 2-0, and then the chance which could've been 3-1.

“With the work we did, we shouldn't have lost the match. I'm frustrated but not despondent.”
