Blackburn Rovers boss Paul Ince was delighted with Benni McCarthy's equaliser in their 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough.

Ince said: "It was a fantastic header. I've always said a fit and hungry Benni McCarthy will always be in my side. He is getting there now, he looks sharper after going away and having a couple of games with South Africa. Until then, I was angry because I felt we had switched off for their goal. I was probably resigned to losing the game."
