West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce was delighted with Danny Collins' performance in their draw at Leeds United.

Collins arrived on-loan from Stoke City last week.

Allardyce said: "Danny is just what we need at this stage of the season.

"He has won promotion before from this league with Sunderland and Stoke so he knows exactly what it takes. His experience is going to be vital for us in the run-in and having him here can only help us.

"He has stepped into a new environment, but he has already slotted in nicely.

"He is looking comfortable with us already and his contribution today was superb."
