Pearson happy with point

Hull boss Nigel Pearson declared himself pleased with the point against Swansea, but believes his team need to be more clinical in front of goal. Mark Gower's low strike from distance put the Swans in front after 63 minutes but Hull hit back just seven minutes later when Corry Evans calmly finished from 12 yards to earn his side a share of the spoils. He said: "It is a good result but it could have better because we had the better chances throughout the game. We had two free headers from set-pieces, their keeper made a couple of one-on-one saves and we could have had a penalty. "But a victory may have been unfair on Swansea because they are a team I have a lot of respect for. Their style should be applauded but I thought we were very effective. "And for all Swansea's attractive football, I don't think they created too many chances against us. We were frustrated with ourselves in the first half. We worked very hard without the ball but we were poor in possession. "We started the second half very well and the players deserve a lot of credit for a lot of discipline and willingness to put the team first."
