Getting a point away from home is always a positive result, especially when fighting relegation.

“I think it was good,” Johnson said post-game of the overall performance. 

“We were strong defensively and we had to sustain pressure.

Fulham are a really good team, an athletic team that can run and really be dangerous, I felt like we stifled that well. We scored two away from home, to do that is definitely a positive.

“Again, it’s the Premier League. We were leading for long periods of the game and it’s turned out to be a draw. You could argue that we deserved to win or you could argue that it was a fair result.

“We’ve come here to a tough place and we’ve got a point, so we’ve just got to continue to build on that.

“You could argue that maybe if that game was earlier in the season we might go on to lose that game 3-2. A lot of the results in the last four or five games, we’ve shown that we can sustain pressure now and our game management has improved.”
