Manuel Pellegrini insists he is 'proud' of his players despite his side slipping to their sixth defeat of the season after just nine games.
The Hammers were left frustrated by a resolute Tottenham defence and a heroic display in goal from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, as they were unable to find a reply to Érik Lamela's first-half header.
Speaking in the post-match press conference, quoted by Sky Sports, Pellegrini stated: "I think it was a very close game in the first half, both teams played well but in the second it was completely us, we created chances but we couldn't score.
