West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has hailed the goalkeeping heroics of Adrian following Tuesday's 2-0 win over Norwich City in the Premier League.

The Spanish shotstopper helped the Hammers keep their 13th clean sheet of the season as they earned an important victory over the Canaries at Upton Park.

"To get that clean sheet our goalkeeper Adrian made three outstanding saves, which he hadn't had to do recently because he hasn't been stretched in terms of making those type of saves," Allardyce told the club's official website.

"He made them at critical times for us and that gave us the opportunity to get the win."

James Collins and Mohamed Diame scored the goals for West Ham to move them up to 13th place in the Premier League table.
