Hull City boss Sergej Jakirovic spoke to BBC Radio Humberside following Monday's goalless draw with Coventry City.
"I saw a good game as we were faced with the best team in the league," he said.
"They are in first place and I'm happy for the lads because they played very well since the first minute – we started very strong.
"I can say we took control and won possession, especially we had very good combinations and tried to press them to create some chances.
"Also we didn't allow too much, which is great because we are struggling all season with clean sheets and I'm happy for the lads they put everything into it today.
"Unfortunately we didn't win the game, but we have to continue like this.
"It's always a big battle. Both teams had very good organisation and tactical discipline, so it's not easy because they are a great team. I saw that we can compete with them, which is a great message to us."
