I thought we got better as the game went on.[LNB]"They put us under pressure, but thankfully we defended well enough and got one ourselves."[LNB]PunishedHibbert saw red for bringing down Jakub Petr, but replays have since shown that he got a toe to the ball and Moyes felt the decision was harsh on his full-back.[LNB]"It was disappointing to see Tony get sent off, and that affected us," he added.[LNB]"I thought it was a wee bit harsh; I have seen them given and seen them not.[LNB]"But in Europe, if you misplace passes you will put your defenders in trouble - and you will probably end up making rash tackles, which will be punished."[LNB]
