Three West Ham United players have been included in Garth Crooks’ team of the week after the Hammers drew 1-1 against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
As reported on BBC Sport, West Ham did brilliantly to come away with a point after midfielder Mark Noble was sent off in the first half.
Crooks included Lukasz Fabianski, Fabian Balbuena and Pablo Zabaleta in his team of the week and showered plenty of praise on the trio.
Balbuena scored his first goal for the London club since joining in the summer transfer window and defended brilliantly throughout the match.
Fabianski was also in inspired form on Saturday and was determined to preserve his clean sheet. A number of good saves from the Polish international kept West Ham in front, but he was eventually beaten by a cruel deflection.
And finally, Zabaleta did well to limit the influence of the tricky Demarai Gray. Crooks was impressed with the Argentine’s eagerness to win the ball back for his side.
