LEEDS United boss Neil Redfearn felt his side deserved the good fortune they enjoyed at the City Ground, as two goals from Nottingham Forest's Matty Fryatt were wrongly chalked off.
The Yorkshire side walked away with a point from a 1-1 draw after the assistant referee made two poor offside decisions.
But Redfearn felt his struggling side were due a little luck, saying: "We deserved a bit of luck with the offside goals. We've been there plenty of times ourselves.
"I thought the players were excellent with the way we applied ourselves and competed and battled and fought.
"I thought we deserved to keep a clean sheet in the first half and the goal wasn't good from our point of view.
"But I thought the overall performance and the diligence and the way we went to a 4-4-2 to see out the game made it a really good away performance."
Leeds have one of the worst away records in the Championship, having collected only six points on the road this season – but Redfearn believes the wins will come if they keep performing with the same character.
"We have got it right at home and have picked up results and played well. But we were dogged, which was a good sign. What you will find is that eventually you will turn those draws into wins away from home," he said. "We came in at half-time and it was a positive spin as we had done well. We were upbeat and wanted to make sure we were on the front foot and positive in the second half and we did exactly that.
"It was a great run from Sam Byram to get brought down for the penalty and I was pleased for Billy Sharp.
"I thought he earned his penalty as he worked so hard for the team. Some of the saves from our keeper were out of the top drawer."
