Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen talks up his side's fighting spirit after they came from behind to earn a point with a 1-1 draw against Manchester United.

Stoke City midfielder Joe Allen has praised his side's fighting spirit after they came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford this afternoon.

Jose Mourinho's side had appeared in control after an opener from substitute Anthony Martial, but David de Gea's error allowed Allen to steal in against the run of play in order to hand the Potters a point on their travels.

"To go a goal behind against a team like that and get a point is a tough ask but we did it. When you come to Old Trafford you're not going to get many chances," said Allen, according to BBC Sport.

"We haven't been picking up many points but you can't fault the effort. We were determined to come here and get at least a point. We did threaten at times, which is a good sign for the weeks to come.

"The last three have been good performances, we haven't quite had the results, but everyone understands that the signs are promising."

Stoke now find themselves in 19th place in the league table after seven games played.
