Saturday, 23rd Apr 2016 18:00 by Lucas Monk

Steve Evans praised his side after their 2-2 draw with Hull at the KCOM stadium.

Steve Evans gave his thoughts following the Sky Bet Championship game between Hull City and Leeds United.

He was full of praise for Jordan Botaka, but felt that his defence could have performed better.

You can see what the Scot had to say after the game below.

Evans said he thought it was a "great game" and reckoned a draw was about right. No blame laid on Wood for the penalty. #lufclive

Evans said Hull's goals were down to "suicidal" defensive mistakes. Felt Leeds were soaking up the pressure well before then. #lufclive

Evans said he's pleased and frustrated that Leeds are going out of this season in form. Thinks this is laying positive ground for the summer

Evans on Botaka - said two months ago he wasn't sure if Botaka had much of a future here. Says he can now see him making a big impact.

Evans basically saying that Botaka's effort, desire etc has increased considerably in the past couple of months. Impressed with him today.

Evans and Cellino spoke at length yesterday, but not about his future. Said they've agreed that they'll speak about it when Cellino's ready.

Interesting comments from Evans. I feel he deserves a chance next season. Good to see Botaka making an impact as well, hopefully he gets a start against Charlton next week.
