Fulham boss Mark Hughes believes his team were worthy of their creditable draw with Manchester United on Sunday.
The Cottagers showed resounding spirit to twice come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw in an entertaining game at Craven Cottage.
Simon Davies cancelled out Paul Scholes' early opener before Brede Hangeland scored in the wrong end with just six minutes remaining.
The Norway international atoned for his error, however, as he netted in the right end in the 89th-minute to seal a point, of which Hughes was delighted to come away with.
"Certainly, United were the better team for the majority of the first half," Hughes told Sky Sports.
"But I just sense that we had a little more relief towards the end of the half and then we took that into the second half."
United were rewarded a soft penalty in between Hangeland's exploits, only for Fulham keeper David Stockdale to save substitute Nani's take.
Stockdale has emerged as Fulham's first choice with regular number one Mark Schwarzer dropped after handing in a transfer request earlier this month, and Hughes has confidence in his replacement.
"I think everyone accepted that had the penalty been converted the game was over but David has been impressing everybody," he said.
"I haven't been through the door long but since I've been here his training and the two games that he's played he's been outstanding, so credit to the young boy," he said of the 24-year-old.
The penalty was awarded against Damien Duff, who was in open space when he accidently handled the ball when trying to clear a deep cross.
Hughes felt the decision was incorrect but believes justice was done and his side duly punished United for the miss by equalising almost immediately after.
Hughes added: "I was disappointed with the penalty award and obviously the own goal. Yes, it hit his hand but there was no intention, he hasn't tried to affect the play, he swung a leg out and it bounced into his hand.
"I thought it was a harsh decision. We had a couple of shouts ourselves but overall I'm just delighted with the overall spirit we've shown."
