three first-half goals against CSKA Moscow.
Goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet believes PSV must "learn a big lesson"
after a shocking first-half display resulted in a 3-2 Champions
League defeat away to CSKA Moscow.
The Dutch champions, who got the better of Manchester United
in their opening Group B fixture, conceded three goals before the
break to leave themselves with a mountain to climb in Russia.
The visitors threatened a comeback with a brace of goals after
the interval from Maxime Lestienne, but they finished the game
with only 10 men following the dismissal of Santiago Arias.
Zoet – who committed the foul that allowed Seydou Doumbia to
make it 3-0 from the penalty spot – admitted PSV paid the price
for what he described as "small mistakes" at the back.
"It is a crying shame," he said. "It was deadly quiet in the
dressing room after the match. We all realise that we gave it
away here. That is just not allowed to happen.
"There was just too much unrest in our defending and we tried
to find a footballing solution for everything.
"Small mistakes are just ruthlessly being punished at this level.
We have to learn a big lesson out of this. This is really a shame
as we really could have gained some points here."
PSV's next European outing sees them travel to Wolfsburg - all
four teams in the group have three points to their name.
