West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker hailed their show of character after drawing 2-2 at Everton.

Parker says morale is sky high after their courageous performance.

"It was a battling point," Parker told whufc.com. "You could see at the end how we are delighted with that. We have been on a bad run and a lot has been in the press over the last couple of weeks - some right stuff and some wrong stuff. We have got a big spirit in the training ground and we deserved a point and we can push on from here.

"It is a statement of character. We needed to come out and show we have a siege mentality. We have gone down twice at Goodison and kept going. It is a good starting point. It is going to be tough for the rest of the season but we are up for it."
