The former Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 coach hailed his troops’ efforts on the pitch, and admitted that it was a disappointing end to the game.

lead.
The Hammers tried their utmost to score the equaliser, but none of the two sides added any more goals in the remaining action of the game, and the match ended in a 2-3 win in favour of Liverpool.
And the English mentor admitted that it was extremely disappointing to see his side lose the game following an own goal.
“To lose the second goal was a bit of a sickened for us but I thought 'see it out today lads and if it is not to be then let's get the draw and we move on'. But then to lose it to a freaky own goal is a little hard to take at the minute”, Allardyce added.
West Ham, who are currently sitting 11th on the table, will lock horns against West Bromwich Albion in their next Premier League game on December 16.
