Djourou: We knew that at 2-0, it wasn't finished

Defender Johan Djourou admitted that his team knew the game against England was not over despite going in 2-1 up at half-time.

The Swiss started the match well but it was a mistake by Djourou on Arsenal team mate Jack Wilshere which gave away the penalty that allowed England to pull one back.

Djourou said: "We weren't overconfident because we knew that the English have great qualities and when you play such a great team, you know that, 2-0 up, it's not finished.

"They showed that in the second half and they came at us really well.

"I think we can be proud of ourselves.

"We came here to Wembley and played and I think that not many teams have done that before.

"We gave them a lot of trouble by playing the ball, and that's something new for us because, before, we were struggling to make a few passes.

"We made a few mistakes on the goals that we lost, cheap goals, but that's football and you have to take those risks to get better."

"Jack will give me stick because of the penalty, of course.

"I had to make the tackle because I thought I could get the ball, but he played well and he got the penalty.

"Overall, I think Switzerland did well and ultimately we could've won the game.

"But it was just a bit of a pity at the end."
