Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is eager for West Ham United to make the London Stadium a fortress this season after drawing against Chelsea, according to a report on the Evening Standard.
The Hammers had enough chances to take all three points but the performance was a massive improvement from their first couple of matches this season.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side now has confidence and belief that they can compete with any team in the top flight as they nullified the threat of their London rivals.
The home crowd were firmly behind their players and Fabianski was at his sparkling best to help the Hammers earn a point. He said:
We have struggled so far at home, but we want to build a fortress at the London Stadium and make sure we are a hard team to beat. The last two results have given us a bit of belief to build on.
This week is very important because we have three home games. The first was against Chelsea, then we play in the League Cup against Macclesfield on Wednesday and then Manchester United next Saturday.
We want to make sure that, when teams come here, they can expect tough games. The atmosphere in the stadium was pretty special against Chelsea. The fans responded and that was really cool.
Fabianski joined the Hammers for £7m from Swansea City and is quickly looking like one of the best bargain signings of the season. The Polish international used his face to save late on from Alvaro Morata to preserve the draw for his side.
