Hughton - We self-destructed

Newcastle boss Chris Hughton believed his side had contributed to their own downfall in the 5-1 loss to Bolton.
Magpies skipper Kevin Nolan missed an early chance before gifting his old club the opener when handballing in the box, with Bolton captain Kevin Davies stepping up to score from the penalty spot.
Goals from Chung Yong-Lee and Johan Elmander either side of half-time put the Trotters firmly in control before Andy Carroll scored to give the Magpies a glimmer of hope.
But Elmander put the issue beyond doubt when out-muscling Fabricio Coloccini and slotting home, before the Newcastle defender was sent off soon afterwards for elbowing the Swede.
Carroll then hit the crossbar before Davies netted an injury-time penalty to complete the rout, although replays showed Jose Enrique had got the ball.
Hughton told Sky Sports: "It was a very difficult day for us. We added to our own problems, certainly in that first-half period.
"We started the game, I thought, very well, coped with the game that they play, very much working off the two front players (Davies and Elmander) but I thought we coped with it very well.
"But we added to our downfall by giving away two very poor goals in that first-half period.
"And then of course, what you have got - particularly here and in the form that they're in - you've got a mountain to climb so we didn't do ourselves any favours today."
Asked if he thought the penalties and sending off against his side had been right, he replied; "Well I thought certainly on the penalty second half - first half yes, Kevin's handballed it and I've got no arguments with that one - the second-half penalty Enrique most definitely plays the ball and I think you'll see that tonight but it didn't seem like it would be our day today.
"But no arguments with most of the decisions, as I say we added to our own downfall.
"We created chances ourselves - that was the shame - that I think if we were able to keep the scoreline down to a reasonable score then we were still very, very much in the game.
"But the game became an open game - of course, when we went down to ten men it was going to be that much more difficult for us and it was a hard afternoon for us."
