The Cardiff manager saw his side go two goals down after just nine minutes as Morgan Amalfitano and Graham Dorrans found the net early on.
However, his charges showed their battling qualities to draw level thanks to goals from Jordon Mutch and Steven Caulker.
"It's fantastic, of course. I'm so happy for the players and the fans that we got the goal we deserved as we never deserved to lose that game – no chance," he said.
"I think our dressing room is a bit happier than theirs at the moment. I think it can be (a turning point) because we've been waiting 32 games to get that luck and finally we've got it.
"I think it says all about the team and the supporters. The lads have had a few kicks in the teeth lately.
"When they scored you think 'that’s it' but the lads have got some character."
