The Nigerian said it's a slap on the faces of their fans to lose with such margin after dominating for the better part of the testy game.
A frustrated Adams said, “We can’t lose like this. It’s not just a defeat, it’s a slap in the face at home,” Adams admitted via the club website.
“For much of the game we were in control, we had chances, but they took theirs and there are no excuses. We have to work hard and keep going,” he added.
The loss place Sevilla in the 13th place of the LaLiga standings with 16 points and makes it their fourth defeat in five matches.
The Nigerian international stressed that team will be looking to bounce back from the defeat.
“It’s tough for us and for all Sevilla fans. Now we have the Cup midweek and then Valencia. We have to look ahead. We’ll be down today and tomorrow, but we have to pick ourselves up.”
On Wednesday, Sevilla has a Cup game and a league clash against Valencia and the striker hopes to help the team bounce back from the derby disappointment.
