Granit Xhaka's reaction
We lost two points in the first 20-25 minutes: sloppy with the ball, too many easy mistakes. At this level you get punished. But in the second half we were very, very good and with more luck we could ahve won the game.
Yesterday was not our best training session and we started the game the same way. We had a conversation and said that at this level we need to reach our standards every day. In my opinion, the first 20 minutes was not good enough. After this we were much better.
I didn’t expect to come back to the Premier League. But in football you never know and to be back makes me happy.

A fair result in the end. Both teams will feel they could have won; deep down both will know they could have lost. This is what it does to the Premier League table.
