Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce was pleased with their 1-1 draw at Wolves.

Bruce says his Newcastle side overcame the worst injury crisis he has seen in 40 years to draw at Wolves and end their three-game Premier League losing run.

Miguel Almiron's third goal in six games ensured a share of the spoils for Newcastle, who remain 13th in the table.

But with Paul Dummett and Dwight Gayle suffering first-half injuries, it was the manner of his side's performance that Bruce admired most.

"With the problems we've got we deserved something. I don't think there's a club out there which has 12 or 13 players missing," Bruce said.

"They ran a million miles and their resilience was there for everyone to see. We lacked a bit of quality in the top end of the pitch but I couldn't fault their effort and endeavour. I thought it was going to be a repeat of when we lost four players in 12 minutes against Leicester.

"Joe [Joelinton] had the courage to carry on [with a groin problem] when we were down to the bare bones. It's ridiculous, I've never known anything like it in 40 years."
