Bursic took solace from the manner in which Pompey gave a good account of themselves in general play against Arsenal, with their efforts acknowledged by the home crowd on the final whistle.

He added, If you take the set-pieces out it's 1-1, and we gave it a really good go.

I've had to make one save, they've hit the post and missed a penalty.

I don't think there's loads in it, and we gave a good account of ourselves.

We played some decent football at times and used the conditions to our advantage.

I don't think it was bad, and we should take a lot of encouragement into the league.
