What was the significance of Obiang's goal at Wembley?
A Wembley shot here. Oh, what a shot! It's an absolute stunner. Son tries his luck. They have replied in kind. It's another Wembley spectacular.
two fantastic strikes which lit up a game which drifted at times as it became really attack against defence for long long periods 31 attempts from Spurs the most in a game this season but just eight of those were on target and that effort from Obiang the only one on target from West Ham tonight but for them it was well worth the wait his third In the claret and blue. From memory, the other two weren't quite like that. Let's get his reaction to it. He's with Mark Noble and both are speaking to Guy Havard.
Mark, Pedro, many congratulations. I'm sure it's a point you would have taken beforehand. Is there just a tinge of disappointment maybe that it's not another Wembley win for the Hammers?
In all honesty, no. You go 1-0 up here, they had some good chances, I thought we defended incredibly well. Two games in three days is tough. A lot of players played 90 minutes on Tuesday night. but if you was going to give us a point here, we've seen the teams they've played here recently, Southampton, even Stoke, they're good sides, tough sides, and Spurs have rolled them over, and tonight I thought the boys defended fantastically.
Pedro, Wembley's seen some great goals. Talk us through yours.
I think it's arriving in the right timing, but everything is happening because we defend really well. We keep the goal on zero, and in that situation, I've seen the possibility, I try, and I'm scoring, so I was really lucky.
It was your first shot on goal, not for you, but for the whole team. Were you aware of that?
Yes, probably, but it's because we worked hard in defence. It was a tough game for us because, as Mark said, we played many games this week and probably we were a little bit tired and it was difficult to attack and defend as well.
Mark, did it take your breath away?
It was a great strike, to be fair. Pedro's got a great strike on him. He probably should shoot a little bit more, but he doesn't get in them positions. Tonight, me and Pedro were told to sit in front of that back five and not really go anywhere. I don't know how Pedro ended up where he was. But, yeah, great strike. But as you say, Spurs are probably in there disappointed because they had a lot of the ball, a lot of possession. But sometimes to play against teams like Spurs, you need a game plan to level it up a little bit. And I thought the way we defended tonight, in the first half we didn't have much, but we had a couple of counter-attacks where if we looked after the ball a little bit better, we might have caused them a bit more problems.
But as I say, a point, four points in three days is a fantastic return and we're over the moon with that.
Mark, Pedro, thanks for your time.
Thank you. Cheers, guys.
A bit of disbelief about Pedro Obiang, I think. What did you make of it, Joe? I think Mark got it in a nutshell there. You know, West Ham were lucky to come away with a draw, but you have to give credit to the defence in particular. The young lad, Declan Rice, I thought he was exceptional today. Winston, Reid, Marshall done well. And they stuck to the game plan, they got the result. 31 shots from Spurs is massive. So Adrian as well, he's played well, so...
How did West Ham defend against Tottenham's attacks?
You know, it took a worldie, didn't it, in the end? Well, it did.
But will West Ham look at that as mission accomplished? They set out to plan.
Absolutely. David Moyes would know he'd have to ride his luck. He'd need the goalkeeper to play well. He'd need Tottenham to not be clinical. And he got all of that tonight. 31 shots at goal. is a massive target for anyone to show that they were far better, Tottenham. But we know that. The league position suggests that. It is a poor result for Tottenham. They need to win them sort of games. Now it's Burnley at home, Swansea at home, West Ham. They've dropped points against teams. West Brom as well made it very difficult. It's games like that you need to be clinical and need to take maximum points if you want to be in the top four because come the end of January, early start of February, playing Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool, and they're the games, especially away from home, where they've struggled to win.
