West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce hails a "precious point" for his side at the Hawthorns this afternoon.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has hailed his side's battling qualities to grind out a point at the Hawthorns this afternoon.

West Bromwich Albion dominated possession in the second half but were unable to break down a resolute Hammers rearguard.

Allardyce believes that the point represents a positive result which they can build upon over a busy Christmas period.

He told BBC Sport: "Today we were a very well-organised, solid and hardworking team who have shown very good defensive qualities.

"Even though West Brom had a lot of territorial advantage we have come off with Jussi only having to have made a couple of saves.

"It is a really good result for us. Under the circumstances with our injury list, we are very pleased. When you pick up a point with seven of your first team missing that is very pleasing. The lads who went out there did us proud and picked up a precious point."

The point against the Baggies has helped West Ham climb above Liverpool into 11th in the Premier League.
