Zola proud of players
Gianfranco Zola admitted he was pleased and proud of his West Ham players as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Arsenal.
The Hammers looked dead and buried after Robin van Persie and William Gallas had given the Gunners, what seemed at the time, an unassailable lead.
However an inspired half-time team-talk from Zola seemed to do the trick and goals from Carlton Cole and Alessandro Diamanti earned the hosts an unlikely point.
The Italian highlighted that he needed to lift his players at the interval as they appeared to be heading to their eighth Premier League game without a win.
"We were well in the game then we made a mistake that was very costly and then after that perhaps the confidence went down," he said.
"But I said in the changing room at half-time I saw they were willing to react and that made the difference really.
"No it wasn't an angry changing room, it was at the beginning a little bit low but we had a chat and I think everybody realised that the only way to get out of the situation was to react, so they did and I'm pleased and proud for them."
