Zola delighted with third successive clean sheet

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola was happy with the draw they managed to get against Liverpool at Anfield.

The draw was the Hammers’ third successive clean sheet.

“We played a very good match, we had chances – as many as Liverpool – and we certainly deserved a point,” he said.

“I am very pleased with my team performances of late. It was another clean sheet and we knew that was something we had to achieve.

“We are working well as a group and we are starting to get the results.

“Our goalkeeper Robert Green was outstanding, but then so were Matthew Upson and Craig Bellamy.

“Robert is getting what he deserves for working so hard. He is performing well and if he continues to play at this level then he will certainly interest the England manager.

“Now we must not lose this momentum. We have Spurs next at home and that will be hard. But things at last seem to be going our way.

“As for Craig (Bellamy). Maybe he felt that he had something to prove, and he produced an awesome performance. I like him as a player not just because of what he does up front, but the amount of work he puts in to help the midfield.”
