Leeds game was 'missed opportunity' - McConville

Norwich City defender Ruairi McConville admitted they had not done themselves justice as a team in their 3-0 FA Cup defeat at Leeds United.

Premier League Leeds proved too strong at Elland Road and advanced into the sixth round following goals from Sean Longstaff, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Joel Piroe.

"We've been playing well and were confident coming into the game, optimistic and excited about the opportunity," McConville said.

"We gave them easy goals [in the first half], two similar goals that we shouldn't be giving away, we came out in the second half and tried to give it our all but came up short.

"It's a missed opportunity - obviously Leeds are a great side and punished us - but it's something we'll look back on and learn from.

"We've got so much quality in the group, we knew we had every chance of getting a result but came up short."

McConville said experiencing VAR again had been "weird", adding: "There's obviously a lot of waiting around, but it's clearly the way the game's going so you have to get on with it."

Norwich return to league action on Wednesday with a home game against Sheffield United (19:45 GMT).

"We still have a job to do in the league, so we have to put this to one side. We've got to keep ourselves fit because there's still so much to play for and be ready for what's to come," McConville added.
