Łukasz Fabiański: There was a reaction in the second half | OneFootball

West Ham goalkeeper Łukasz Fabiański fell victim to an Eden Hazard wondergoal as the Belgian netted a brace to sink the Hammers 2-0 on Monday night.

After the match, Fabiański told West Ham’s official website that Hazard deserves all the credit for his brilliant performance.

“It wasn’t quite hard to see it for me, I had a clear view,” he recalled.

“Obviously he started to run at the players, taking them on. He’s such a skilled player that can do those things.

“He took on, I don’t know how many, four or five players, and started dribbling at high speed and then his finish as well was really good. That tells you a lot about the quality that he has.”

Echoing manager Manuel Pellegrini, the soon-to-be 34-year-old goalkeeper admitted that their first-half performance was not impressive at all.

However, despite being five points behind Leicester for a possible Europa League spot, he still wants to give the fans something to be proud of.

“The first half wasn’t great, the way we performed,” he said.

“I think you could see there was a reaction in the second half and we created some chances.

“I hope even though we are in a safe position I just want us to finish the season in a strong way, to still give something back to the fans, to show good football, to get some good results.

“The recent performances have been up and down so I hope that, especially with what we’ve shown in the second half [against Chelsea], hopefully that will give us the boost that we can finish the season strongly and that we can perform and, like I said, get something from the rest of the games.”

West Ham will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United.
