Tigana said the game stayed goalless because "there were two fantastic goalkeepers" in Edwin van der Sar and Carlo Cudicini."

"I feel today was a very big game and I am happy.

"We had chances to win the game and would have preferred three points, but it is not too bad.

"We are making progress. Last year was our first year and players had to get used to the higher level," added Tigana.

"Many players have progressed from last year.

"Players like Zat Knight and Sean Davis have more experience now and have worked really hard.

"The players have now had the experience and I hope that this year we are not too far off a high level."
