With the club out of the competition, Moyes had to issue an apology for his behaviour, after defender Aaron Cresswell was sent off earlier in the contest.

"I have to apologise for kicking the ball at the ball boy," Moyes said to reporters post-game.

"He left it short, it was nicely on the volley for me, but I apologise for it.

"I didn't hit him, I think I just bent it past him. He threw it very short when he could've thrown me the ball, he chose to leave it short but as I said, I apologise for that but it was a big game we were trying to win tonight."
