Adrian - 'This is my job'

Adrian insisted he was just doing his job after helping West Ham United gain a valuable point at Stoke City on Saturday.

The Spanish stopper had to make outstanding saves to deny Mame Diouf, Jonathan Walters and Geoff Cameron as the Hammers battled back from 2-0 down to draw at the Britannia Stadium.

Adrian was happy to help his team dig themselves out of a hole and keep their four-match unbeaten run going.

He said: "The team was happy with the point because we stood up in the second half. We didn't play well in the first half, and the real West Ham team came out in the second half.

"This is my job. I try in every game to help my teammates and on Saturday I helped us to get one point.

"They probably deserved to be in front at half time because we weren't playing well, but in the second half the team was stronger and made very good chances for goals and thankfully we scored two.

"All saves are hard, but I think the most important was in the last minute of the first half [from Diouf], because it meant we went in at half-time at 1-0 instead of two."

Adrian was pleased to see the Hammers show their character again as they once more showed their attacking power with two goals away from home.

"We are playing so well, showing every week that we play like a team and we did that again on Saturday, because the second half was very good," he continued.

"To take one point means we keep on going and we have another chance next week when we play Aston Villa."

Adrian's fellow Spanish speaker Enner Valencia was at the fore of the Hammers' comeback, scoring one and setting up the other for Stewart Downing and the No13 was delighted for the Ecuadorian.

He added: "Enner is very happy because he scored again and helped the team get this draw. He's a very important player for us and today he was a real striker - he scored this goal to get this point."
