Feyenoord went ahead after 15 minutes through Nicolai Jorgensen, but two quick-fire yellow cards saw Eric Botteghin sent off, with his second yellow earned for a hand ball in his own penalty area on the stroke of half-time.

Jones was able to save Rafael Forster's penalty, but the Brazilian was the quickest to react and fire home the loose ball from close range.

To add to Jones's frustration, he also picked up an injury during the game.
