West Ham keeper Fabianski: Arsenal draw shows where we are

Lukasz Fabianski says Sunday's draw with Arsenal shows just how far West Ham have come this season.

The Hammers were forced to share the spoils after having a 3-0 first-half lead.

The result means David Moyes' side remain in fifth, and Fabianski admits there is a different kind of pressure at the club.

He said: "The season so far has been really good and that we are disappointed with drawing against Arsenal at home shows you how far we've come compared with what happened to us last season.

"We're not happy with the result. Obviously, we started so well in the first half and really dominated the first 20 to 30 minutes.

"Maybe we felt confident with being 3-0 up that we weren't going to get anything against us, but Arsenal really started to pick it up. They started to get the rhythm going and we got punished on a few occasions.

"We sat back too deep and let them control the game too much."

The Poland international added: "We have improved a lot and we want to keep on pushing really strong to the end of the season, keep performing and getting a good amount of points on the board. We want to finish as high as we can."
