Everton boss David Moyes admits they were outclassed in their Europa League defeat by Sporting Lisbon.

The Premier League side were in the driving seat in Portugal thanks to their 2-1 win in the first leg, until Miguel Veloso broke the deadlock on the night in the 64th minute.

Further goals from Mendes and Matias Fernandez sealed progress for the Portuguese side to book a tie with Atletico Madrid.

Moyes felt Sporting were in control virtually from kick-off.

"We didn't play well enough," Moyes told Five. "From the start Sporting got a grip of the game, put us under pressure.

"I thought we'd weathered it before half-time but we never caused them enough problems."
