Hibs players left ‘frustrated’ following defeat on Tayside admits Dwight Gayle

Hibs striker Dwight Gayle admitted that Saturday’s defeat to Dundee United left the players frustrated. 

The experienced forward scored his first goal for the club since signing when he headed home at the back post from a perfectly placed Jordan Obita cross. 

At that time there was 18-minutes remaining and the large Hibs support at Tannadice were convinced that it would be enough to secure the victory. 

However Joe Newell’s second yellow card in the 84^th minute was followed by two United goals in time added on. 

“Of course it’s nice to get on the scoresheet but the result is not what we wanted,” Gayle said to Hibs TV post-match. “It’s all about the three points and the team result.”  

“Obviously it’s not ideal to concede two late goals at the time we did. After we scored they put us under a lot of pressure and a lot of balls into the box and we weren’t able to deal with it at the end. 

“A frustrating result really. All the boys are so frustrated, and we need to take a look at ourselves. 

“It’s an especially tough one to take given some of the results we’ve had.”
