Everton fullback Leighton Baines felt they deserved their point against Manchester City.

It was their seventh stalemate in nine games but unlike after some of the previous stalemates - and despite their frustration over the penalty - they felt it was a good point gained rather than two dropped.

Defender Baines said: "It is a decent point.

"We were under quite a bit of pressure in the second half and that point in the game I think we would have been happy with a point.

"We were still trying to hit City on the break but they played well in the second half.

"I think we defended well and this is a much better point than some of the other points we have picked up in recent weeks. This is the best of the bunch.

"When you come away to a team like this you expect a tough game.

"In the second half we showed that grit we need to come away from sides like this with a point."
