Portsmouth boss Kenny Jackett had no complaints after their 2-0 defeat to FA Cup opponents Arsenal.

Pompey played well in the first half but trailed to Sokratis Papastathopoulos' volley from Reiss Nelson's cross just before the break.

Eddie Nketiah bundled home from close range from another Nelson cross to wrap up the victory six minutes after the restart.

Pompey's only shot on target came in the second half, with substitute Ronan Curtis' effort saved.

Jackett remarked, "We had moments around their box. But they got blocks in and defended well. When we got deliveries in, Emiliano Martinez caught them. We needed those moments and the goal... we needed to get in to half-time at 0-0 and build the tempo in the second half.

"Being 2-0 down against Arsenal, any side in the country will find it difficult. They can get their tails up and make you pay. It can be a lot more than 2-0. We couldn't quite get that goal back. The better side won.

"It's been a great cup run. I'm disappointed we couldn't take it further but we played against a good side and a good club. We have to put it behind us and look forward."
