Leeds United head coach Kevin Blackwell was very happy with a point at Manchester City, but confirmed the loss of Lucas Radebe through injury.
Leeds secured a valuable point thanks to a 1-1 draw at The City of Manchester Stadium and Blackwell confirmed that getting something from the game was very much part of their pre-game plan.
"It is one of those games were you set your plan out and try to get something and that is what we got," explained Blackwell - who was manager for the night as Eddie Gray was attending his daughter's wedding. "We knew we were would be under the cosh after we scored and we had to make decisions about it. It was a great fighting spirit from us and the players put their heads and bodies in where it counts. We wanted to try and stay tight and we did."
Blackwell also confirmed that South African defender Lucas Radebe had torn his hamstring, after he was stretched off in the latter stages of the match.
"Lucas has completely torn his hamstring and it looks as if he is out for six to eight weeks," he confirmed.
