Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka says they can be satisfied with their 2-2 draw at Europa League opponents Sporting CP.

The result leaves the round of 16 tie in the balance.

Xhaka said, "We knew before the game it is tough to play here. It is always tough to play against a Portuguese team they are, well disciplined, tough and have good players technically but we have to take the 2-2 and finish the game in London.

"We started okay in the game started the first game but the two goals we conceded was too easy at this level, that cannot happen.

"In the second half we had a lot of control, we could have won the game but also could have lost the game so that is why we take the draw."
