We`ll learn from defeat - Lambert

25 August 2010 11:30
Norwich manager Paul Lambert admitted his side struggled to cope with Mame Biram Diouf after he scored a hat-trick in Blackburn`s 3-1 Carling Cup second-round victory. The 22-year-old, brought in from Manchester United earlier this month, headed the opener in the 29th minute, stabbed home his second 11 minutes from time and nodded in a third late on. Jens Berthel Askou's 90th-minute goal was little consolation for the Canaries, and Lambert said: "I thought we played well in certain parts of the game but they are a major threat from set-pieces and we got hurt with the first one. "We kept on going and created chances ourselves and their goalkeeper pulled off some good saves. "It wasn`t the first header from the long throw that was the problem, it was the second one. You have to match runners and if you don't match runners that's what happens, especially at the higher level you go up. We'll learn from it for sure."
