Fernandez: Espanyol deserved to win

Deportivo La Coruna Coach Victor Fernandez admitted an Espanyol victory would have been a fair result from the 0-0 draw between the sides.

Fernandez added however that the good fortune that helped deliver the draw had evaded Deportivo in past games.

“On opportunities, Espanyol deserved to win this game,” he conceded, AS reports.

“We got the luck we needed for the point that we had lacked at other times.

“We have dedicated ourselves to a match of great sacrifice, running and chasing the opponent on the ball. We endured an onslaught.

“Now we must build on this momentum.”
