West Ham boss Zola delighted with "awesome" Upson

West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is delighted with the form of defender Matthew Upson.

The England international was again outstanding at Liverpool on Monday and Zola said: "We have worked hard to regain momentum. Now we must work hard because the Spurs game will be tough, but we need to keep things calm.

"Matthew Upson was awesome - everybody, the whole team was outstanding. The overall fitness is much better.

"And Craig Bellamy maybe had something to prove at his old club. But as his physical condition continues to improve (after injury) he is becoming more athletic.

"I am looking forward to seeing him play in the next game, I am sure it will be a huge match for him."
