The Brazil striker said afterwards: "We knew it would be a tough game. We played better than them in the second half, we scored twice and we could have scored more goals.

"We got a point and we have to move forward. We didn't start well in the first half and we conceded two goals very quickly. They play with the fans and we know it is difficult."

Pedro added of his goal, "I told (Robert Sanchez) at half-time to play this ball to me. I controlled the ball in front and I scored a brilliant goal. It was different.

"I need to learn how to play this kind of game because you cannot draw this sort of game in the Premier League."
