Steve Bruce: "I think it should have been eight or nine or 10 minutes injury time, to be honest. Every time Joey Barton got the ball - and I thought Joey Barton played very well - it was like leading the orchestra, wasn't it?

"I took him a minute to get a free-kick, a minute to take it. He was down five times - I have never seen him down so much in my life, but there you go.

"The one thing you can't complain about with the team we have here is they never give up.

"Even though we weren't playing well, at the death with a minute to go, we had six or seven people in the box trying to score a goal, so we never gave it up.

"We got a bit of the bounce of the ball, but Phil was in the 18-yard box and we got that little bit of luck, which got us a point."
