Keane convinced Hammers will stay up

Robbie Keane has revealed how West Ham's goalless draw at Tottenham has convinced the squad they are good enough to stay in the Barclays Premier League. The Hammers extended their unbeaten run in the league to four matches on Saturday, with a point at White Hart Lane crucial in ensuring they stayed out of the bottom three. It was also the first time they had kept back-to-back clean sheets for more than a year, something which has boosted the belief of Avram Grant's men ahead of their clash with Manchester United on Saturday week. On-loan Tottenham striker Keane told his club's official website: "I think, as a group of players, we certainly believe we won't get relegated. "I think we have to believe that after a defensive performance like that and we certainly have the players in the team who can score goals. The table is so close, so if we get a couple of back-to-back wins, we're right back up there again."
