Khaikin cannot be blamed for the goals either from a penalty or from a corner when he was headed. In that situation, he did everything he could. Guessed the direction of the penalty and reacted to the point-blank shot when the second goal was scored. He did everything that depended on him.
Nikita has played 51 matches in European competitions. Of course, in such matches he gains more experience than when playing in the championship, regardless of the level of the championship, “Kafanov quotes Metaratings.ru.
