Sir Alex Ferguson praised his Manchester United team for fighting back to earn a point against Bolton on Sunday.
United came away from the Reebok with a 2-2 draw but had to twice come from behind to earn a share of the spoils.
Zat Knight capitalised on poor defending from Ferguson's men to give Bolton the lead before Nani levelled with an excellent individual goal.
The hosts then went back ahead in an open encounter through Martin Petrov, only for Michael Owen to come off the bench to save the day with a glancing header.
The draw proved to be a setback for the Scot, who had seen his title rivals, Chelsea and Arsenal, both lose a day previous.
Injuries to Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney added to the disappointment but Ferguson took heart from the way his team battled to earn a draw.
Ferguson said: "In the first half we should have done better but we did well to come from behind.
"The second half was very even.
"Bolton were a real handful and our chances were reduced but we must take credit for coming back again.
