Wolves boss McCarthy delighted with Fletcher, Frimpong for Spurs point

Wolves boss Mick McCarthy was delighted with goal scorer Steven Fletcher for their draw at Tottenham.

McCarthy was full of praise for striker Fletcher, who scored his ninth league goal of the season and he also felt his side were worth the draw.

He said: "He (Fletcher) is one of those rare commodities. A talented footballer who does everything else as well. He runs back for you, blocks shots and puts himself about.

"I'm delighted with the result because I though we deserved something from the game."

The performance of on-loan Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong was also a plus point for the Wolves manager.

"He is a terrific player," he said. "He certainly has energy, is a good player and puts his foot in. I think his reputation as a fine young player is already there and it will just get better if he is playing in the Premier League."
