While it may not have been a neutrals cup of tea,
Big Sam knew full well that beating Manchester United, a team with everything to play for, wasn't going to be easy,
in fact almost impossible considering the huge
gulf in class between the two sides, but the draw was always a viable option and so it was to little surprise that Sam Allardyce pinpointed the point as a great result, and credit to him and the players for perfecting their tactics as they were duly rewarded with their target point.
