Hodgson - Players showed a lot of character

Fulham manager Roy Hodgson was happy with a point after his side earned a 1-1 draw with Wigan at the DW Stadium.Clint Dempsey's penalty secured a share of the spoils after Emmerson Boyce had put Wigan in front, with goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer producing a series of fine saves for the Cottagers.Hodgson said: "I was very pleased with the point, especially after the excitement and pressure of the Liverpool game and the grave disappointment in Rome in midweek."Wigan are a very good team and the players showed a lot of character and determination so I have to be really happy with a point."It was more a 3-3 game than a 1-1 and Mark Schwarzer had to bring off some spectacular saves from their long-range shooting."
