Roy Hodgson says that England have no complaints about tonight's result against Brazil.

England manager Roy Hodgson believes that his team's 2-2 draw with Brazil was a fair result.

The Three Lions fell behind early in the second half, but managed to take the lead thanks to goals from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Wayne Rooney.

However, Paulinho's equaliser ensured that the Selecao fans did not leave disheartened.

Hodgson said that he was disappointed that his team could not hold out for the victory, but has no complaints regarding the result.

"Some draws can be labelled victories and some draws can be labelled defeats," Hodgson told BBC Sport. "We were disappointed after the Ireland game not to win and I was also disappointed today.

"We played so well in the second half I thought we might hold on for the win but we were scotched by a wonder strike. We didn't play anywhere near like we wanted to in the first half and Brazil did, so it was a fair result."

England's next fixture sees them take on Scotland at Wembley in August.
