Hamann happy with point

The former Newcastle midfielder, who was jeered with his every touch of the ball on his return to St James' Park, was a deserved man of the match as he led a depleted Liverpool side to a well-deserved draw.

"We were quite in control of the game until the penalty but we can’t complain about the draw. I think the stage we are in at the moment we have got to keep grinding out results. Coming to Newcastle and getting a draw is not that bad."
