Ebou Adams hailed Derby County’s excellent communication as they came back from a goal down to take a point in a 1-1 draw against Hull City at Pride Park Stadium on Saturday.
The combative midfielder made his 12th appearance of the season and was pivotal to the Rams’ pressing against the Tigers.
Hull opened the scoring at Pride Park early in the second half through Xavier Simons' 25-yard strike before Dajaune Brown netted the equaliser - his first senior goal for the club - after coming on as a second-half substitute to earn a share of the spoils.
Adams spoke to RamsTV after the game to review another typically hardworking performance on home turf.
On the result against Hull…
In the end, there are mixed emotions for us. I'll look at the positives and say that coming back from one goal behind to collect a point is good for us.
On Dajaune Brown getting a well-earned first Derby goal…
It's very special to be part of, I'm really happy for him because he’s had to be patient. As a young player, you have to be patient because your opportunity can come at any given time, but there’s no surprise that he's come on and done that. I'm buzzing for him.
He gives everything and you've just seen it today; running the channels and winning the flick-ons. The header was unbelievable to be fair because it loops over the goalkeeper. It's a good finish and you can tell by the celebration how much he loved it as well.
On a measured defensive display…
We had to be disciplined because Hull’s rotations are crazy. You've got centre-backs playing in midfield and midfielders playing up front! The communication between the boys was unbelievable.
