Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Gary O'Neil admitted his side earned a good point against Aston Villa.

The two Premier League sides had to settle for a point each after a tough contest on Sunday.

Wolves, who had taken the lead through Hee Chan Hwang, were pegged back by a Pau Torres header.

Post-game, O'Neil stated: I thought it was a decent game, both teams were fairly evenly matched, and I felt that once we weathered the storm at the start, where Sa had to make a couple of saves, I didn't really feel our goal was under any massive threat, so I was a little bit disappointed with the draw, especially when you go 1-0 up and we were in a good spot, controlling the opposition game-wise.

I didn't think we were in any danger there was obviously a bit early, where we needed to get to grips and Sa needed to make a couple of saves. After that, second half I don't remember Sa going much.

We had two chances Sasa's lovely cross for Pedro, a big chance across the face, then Pedro's cut back for Sasa, another big chance. I didn't feel like our goal was under any threat when it was 11v11 and I thought we were causing Aston Villa some problems.

We were the ones looking more likely [to score] and had decent control until the sending off. Then we were hanging on. But it was a good point against a good side."
