The West Ham United goalkeeper bailed out his team-mates on a few occasions yesterday.
West Ham United bounced back from last week’s horror show against Manchester City, but just about.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side earned a point away at Brighton in Saturday’s 1-1 draw at the Seagulls.
But it could and probably would’ve been a second straight defeat for West Ham if not for their goalkeeper, Lukasz Fabianski.
The Irons, who were thumped 5-0 by City in East London last week, were saved by the Polish star on several occasions.
He could do very little about Leandro Trossard’s equaliser to cancel out Javier Hernandez’s opener, but expertly denied Dale Stephens and Solly March.
Here’s how fans reacted to his heroics yesterday:
Fabianski, one of Mario Husillos’s first signings as West Ham’s DoF, cost a mere £7 million [talkSPORT]. In this market, it’s an absolute bargain, considering he was the Irons’ best player last season and could defend that title this time around.
In terms of reliability, he is unmatched and if other members of Pellegrini’s squad were equally as reliable, the Hammers could have a superb season.
