Lions 2013: Warren Gatland says team played 'exceptionally well'

British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland says his team played "exceptionally well" in their series decider against Australia.

The Lions ended their 16-year wait for a series win with a 41-16 victory in Sydney and captain Alun Wyn Jones says he was impressed with the players who came off the bench at a time when the "pressure was on".

Gatland adds he has not "taken a lot of pleasure in terms of being vindicated" after his "tough call" to leave out veteran centre Brian O'Driscoll.
