Espanyol defender, David Lopez, admits that Bardhi's goal crushed his side's confidence

Espanyol defender David López admits that following a tough home defeat to Levante the only option for team is to "pick themselves up and go again". The 3-1 loss leaves them rock bottom of the current LaLiga standings.

Lopez didn't shy away from the cameras following the match. "It's a bad result for us. We were desperate to turn the situation around and move forward but it wasn't to be. We've played two matches at 2PM, with one day's less rest (than Levante), and against Getafe we played with 10-men. It's tough." 

The decisive moment was Bardhi making it 2-1 to Levante. "When we were level, we had a lot of chances. We took the game to them and, in our strongest period of the match, Bardhi scores and that hurt the team."

Lopez doesn't want to dwell on this game and is looking to turn the situation around as soon as possible. "I feel bad for losing. The team has made a big change and we've improved. We deserve a lot more than we've got so far, but we have to carry on going until we have nothing left."
