unimpressed by his side’s inability to put the matter beyond doubt at a raucous Pride Park on Friday night.

After seeing them convert only one of 24 efforts against Wayne Rooney’s relegation strugglers, Silva said: “We wanted to get it done here, of course, and it was a fantastic opportunity. But we were too soft.

“There were so many chances to kill the match. Unfortunately, it was not our night to be clinical.

“We need to be more mature in certain moments. We got punished by

“It was tough for us and for our fans. The mood in the dressing room, as you might expect, is not the best one. But now we have another big opportunity.”
