Ferguson praises Man Utd character after Bolton draw

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has heaped praise on his side after they fought back twice to earn a 2-2 draw with Bolton at the Reebok Stadium on Sunday.

The Red Devils grabbed a point on the road thanks to a 74th minute Michael Owen goal and despite not getting what they came for, Ferguson was content with the point considering the circumstances his side found themselves in.

"In the first half we should have done better but we did well to come from behind," Ferguson told ESPN.

"The second half was very even. Bolton were a real handful and our chances were reduced but we must take credit for coming back again. It shows a bit of character."
