Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew has admitted that he was pleased that his side bounced back defensively in their 0-0 draw with West Ham United.
The Magpies were hammered 4-0 on the opening day of the season by Manchester City, but put in a solid performance at St James' Park against the Hammers.
Pardew told reporters: "We had to dig in after Man City and show resilience. Defensively we couldn't have put in a better performance."
Newcastle face Fulham at home in their next Premier League game next week.
