West Ham captain Noble jumps to defence of Fabianski

West Ham United captain Mark Noble says goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has done more than enough to win a reprieve after Monday's howler against Liverpool.

Fabianski allowed Mohamed Salah's tame effort to slip through his legs, which tied the scores at 2-2, before the Reds found a winner through Sadio Mane.

But Noble insisted the Hammers would support the 35-year-old.

He said: "Lukasz has been unbelievable for us and dug us out of many holes.

"There have been many times I have come in the dressing room and given him a cuddle and thanked him for the saves he has pulled off.

"Everyone makes mistakes, it is football. He came in and said sorry but I do not want him to do that because he has saved us many times."
