France midfielder Samir Nasri has admitted to using inside knowledge for his goal against England.
After Joleon Lescott had put the Three Lions in front, Nasri beat Manchester City teammate Joe Hart at his near post to earn France a point.
The Frenchman, who was voted as the man of the match, also said that he is disappointed not to win the game.
"Ribery gave me the ball back and the England defence was really low [sitting back]. Joe Hart knows I open my body up so I did the opposite," he said.
"It is a big honour [to be named man of the match] but I would have preferred to win the game. We didn't lose and that is the important thing.
"I am confident about our possibilities of going through to the quarter-final."
France face Ukraine in their second Group D game of Friday.
