After his unfortunate World Cup mistake, Green has been under sometimes intense pressure from media circles and some supporters and a shaky start to the season had led to a number of people questioning his ability to cope with the pressure.
With the Hammers 1-0 up, Spurs’ Luke Modric hit a stinging shot which Green acrobatically tipped onto the bar. “It was a typical Robert Green performance,” said Avram Grant.
“He is a good goalkeeper, sometimes keepers have good days and bad days but this was his normal performance. He did some great saves. It is not easy, especially the one from Modric.”
