Adebayor: We should have beaten Kyiv

Striker Emmanuel Adebayor said that the Gunners should have won their Champions League group match against Dynamo Kyiv last night.

The Gunners dominated for large spells in the match but only managed to salvage a draw after going behind to a dubious penalty decision.

The Togolese international admits that the Gunners now need to beat former European Champions Porto in their next match at the Emirates.

Adebayor said: "I think we had better chances than they did, we played good football.

"I don't know whether we were quite tired or not as it was a very difficult game and we had a very good team in front of us.

"We have one point now we have come through the first leg.

"We have to be very serious and win the home game against Porto."

just try to hit the target more often rather than trying to score the perfect goal all the time.

We would have won if you had taken your chances properly. Since you know what the problem is why don't you put it right by working harder at your finishing?
