Derby County boss Nigel Clough has hailed the "character" of his side to earn a point in their game with Bolton Wanderers.

With six minutes to play the Rams trailed to a Craig Dawson goal but striker Jamie Ward popped up and headed home an equaliser.

Clough told reporters: "It was a good point in the end when you're 1-0 down, but overall I think we deserved three.

"But we showed great character to come back and get a point, I'm absolutely delighted with the lads."

Derby are currently ninth in the Championship and are seven points adrift of Middlesbrough in sixth place.
