Given happy with point proved

Newcastle goalkeeper Shay Given insisted his side thoroughly deserved a point after they claimed a 1-1 draw with defending Premier League champions Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The Magpies opened the scoring in the 22nd minute through Obafemi Martins when the Red Devils got their marking all wrong from James Milner’s corner and the Nigerian rose unchallenged to power a header goalwards which Paul Scholes could not keep out on the line.
