McCarthy: Wolves good for point at Hull

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy insists they deserved their point in yesterday's draw at Hull City.

Wolves scored for the first time in five games as they drew 2-2 against their Barclays Premier League relegation rivals at KC Stadium.

A comical own goal from Anthony Gardner gifted them their first equaliser after a Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink strike and Matt Jarvis cancelled out a penalty from Wolves target Stephen Hunt.

When asked if his team had earned a good point, McCarthy said: "I think we should have had three - but we have got one more than we had.

"I think being behind twice renders it a good point but I think the way we played and the chances we had, we did enough to win it.

"I thought the first goal was against the run of play. Our first goal was an own goal but we set off well in the second half and forced them into a mistake.

"And I think we deserved our second one, for sure.

"I thought we were the better team in the second half."
