Siewert frustrated his side did not prevent Florin Andone's 79th-minute goal

Jan Siewert says he is "totally angry" his Huddersfield side failed to defend a set-piece which resulted in Brighton's goal in their 1-0 defeat at the Amex Stadium.
Substitute Florin Andone scored in Brighton's narrow win over the Yorkshire side which came from a free-kick where Anthony Knockaert crossed to the Romania international to nod in from close range.
The Huddersfield boss was far from pleased with the way his side tried to defend the goal and felt the moment "killed the game".
"We lost the game because of a free-kick," he told Sky Sports.
"Although I knew that it would be hard because of the Wolves game where everybody emptied the tank, everybody was fighting but we lost the game in one situation. We were not switched on and the free-kick killed us today.
"I'm angry about it because in the Premier League you cannot allow situations like this.
"We gave everything here and we deserved a point. We had to make early subsitutions which definitely affected the game.
"In the end we lost the game because of a free-kick and this makes me totally angry."
Huddersfield's 21st loss of the season pushes them closer to Premier League relegation as they sit bottom of the table and 13 points off safety with nine games left to play. Siewert felt his side deserved a point from the match.
He added: "In each game, there are positive things and even today there were positive things.
"We should leave with one point here because they were not better than we were. The free-kick killed us today."
