William Gallas felt that Arsenal could have played better following the 1-1 draw with Dynamo Kiev in UEFA Champions League Group G.

The Gunners enjoyed a lot of possession in the first half but could not break the deadlock and were made to pay on 64 minutes when Ismael Bangoura scored from the penalty spot after a foul by Bacary Sagna on Ognjen Vukojevic.

Gallas scored the equaliser just two minutes from time but was still disappointed not to have taken all three points.

The Arsenal skipper was not happy with the performance in the second half and also admitted that it would be difficult to prepare for the Premier League clash with Bolton on Saturday.

He told Sky Sports 3: "It was really hard today.

"I think we played well first half and in the second we didn't play, we didn't defend very well and conceded the goal. I don't know if it was a penalty or not.

"It's not bad but we feel we could do better, we could take the full points but one point is not too bad.

"When you see you can win the game it is normal to be disappointed.

"We have to work more to be ready for the next game in three days."

Gallas also conceded that scoring had done little to lift his own spirits.

He said: "I don't feel (anything) about my goal - I just feel about the victory, I'm very disappointed, like the players and the manager.

"I scored a goal but nothing else."
