Crewe technical director Dario Gradi was pleased with his side's spirited display as they came from behind to draw 2-2 with leaders Swansea.An 82nd-minute strike from defender Julien Baudet gave the Railwaymen hope before Tom Pope stunned the runaway League One-leaders with a 90th-minute equaliser.

Earlier strikes from Jason Scotland - who netted a ninth-minute penalty - and a Gary Roberts own goal had given the Swans a 2-0 lead but the home side refused to give in.

Gradi said: "You wouldn't have put any money on us getting anything out of that game at half-time, but we dug in and it was the set-plays that made the difference for us.

"We were playing against a good team with good players so we are delighted with a point.

"We showed good spirit and it could really help our confidence."
