The goalkeeper got a hand to Milivojevic's spot kick, but he couldn't keep it out of the net.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Darlow said: "First half, we were very good and had a lot of chances, played some good football. Second half, they came back at us and we did well to hold on to a draw.

"We've shown we have got a lot of fight and can hopefully get out of this relegation battle.

"It was a sloppy five, 10 minutes from myself that could have been better. We have a lot of grit and desire and will go to the very end."

Darlow was preferred in goal to loan signing Martin Dubravka, who was named on the bench.
