Dearden praise for battling side

We were fortunate to be 1-0 behind at the break

Bobby Zamora gave Albion the perfect start with a fifth-minute goal and Daniel Webb put the home side 2-0 ahead.

But Danny Allsopp squeezed a shot in from a tight angle and then Marcel Cas levelled with a dipping volley from 25 yards to make it 2-2.

Dearden said: "We were fortunate only to be 1-0 down at the break. To give Brighton a two-goal lead and then come back is very pleasing and we scored two great goals.

"In the first 20 minutes we were very sloppy. But we got ourselves a great point and we are now out of the bottom four."
