Brentford boss Thomas Frank believes that his side delivered an "almost perfect" display against Manchester City.
The Bees worked extremely hard against the champions on Wednesday night, but came up short away from home.
City secured a 2-0 win to extend their lead at the top of the table.
Post-game, Frank told BBC Match of the Day: "I think looking from a defensive perspective it was almost the perfect performance.
"But the two goals we give away are both from mistakes - it was a penalty we should never have given away, then the second was a big mistake. That's the disappointing thing.
"We made it so difficult for them with strong discipline, but in the decisive moments we don't take our chances and then get punished at the other end.
"Overall, the performance I was pleased with, that should give us confidence.
"The two mistakes are so big. We will learn from that but when you look at their quality on the pitch it is unbelievable."
