Defender Vedran Corluka has hailed his Tottenham team-mates for showing real character to fightback and earn a point at Bolton.

Tottenham fell behind twice in the Barclays Premier League encounter at the Reebok but recovered twice with goals from Niko Kranjcar and Corluka securing a 2-2 draw.

Both teams had chances after Corluka's leveller in the 73rd minute - Jussi Jaaskelainen blocked Peter Crouch's close-range effort - but it stayed 2-2 and the point left Tottenham sitting third in the table.

"It was a tough game for us and that's the case for every team that comes here," said Corluka, now on international duty with Croatia.

"Bolton are very good, they have lots of strength and we knew it would be difficult. We're pleased because we were down twice and we showed the character to come back."
