Gianfranco Zola was happy with his West Ham players after their 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough.

Zola said: "I thought we would get a victory but I am pleased because it was not an easy game for us.

"We were coming into the game from four defeats away and the players were really good, so at the end of the day I am disappointed with the result but not with them.

"We are going to try and improve some things and maybe we should have taken our chances better.

"But I cannot have any complaints with the players because they were fantastic today."
