Issa Diop has revealed his delight at West Ham's ability to keep Tottenham Hotspur at bay in Saturday’s Premier League clash.
The London derby ended 1-0 in favour of the Hammers, who became the first visiting side to grab a win at Spurs’ new stadium.
And while Michail Antonio was lauded for a brilliant winner, Diop - who made a stunning return to Manuel Pellegrini's line-up after three games on the bench - has shifted attention to the hard work required to keep out Heung-min Son, Fernando Llorente, Dele Alli and Lucas Moura.
The display at the rearguard also contributed to ensuring the London side ended their rivals’ brilliant home run.
