Notts County showed their "fighting character" to come from two goals down to draw with Fleetwood Town on Sunday, according to wing-back Nick Tsaroulla.

The summer arrival from Crawley Town made a significant impact off the bench on his debut, earning the penalty kick which Jodi Jones converted in the 95th minute to salvage a draw at Meadow Lane.

"We showed unbelievable character," Tsaroulla told 大象传媒 Radio Nottingham.

"Some clubs will go 2-0 down and just wouldn鈥檛 have the bottle, but we showed the fight with the characters we have got in this team."

Tsaroulla added that the team felt "unfortunate" not to get their first league win of the season, having had more than 80% possession and eight efforts on target from the 17 they created.

Fleetwood were, however, more clinical with their finishing and took the lead through Ryan Graydon in the first half before Brendan Wiredu doubled the visitors' advantage immediately after the break.

Alassana Jatta pulled a goal back just before the hour, and Jones went on to secure Notts' second draw from as many league games to start the season.

"Every point when you go 2-0 down ends up a good put," said Notts boss Stuart Maynard.

"But I think it's disappointing because you see how many efforts we had on their goal and the types of goals we are conceding. But we will take the positives."
