West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola hit out at his side's lack of belief after they needed a last-minute equaliser to rescue a point from a 2-2 draw with ten-man Fulham.
The Hammers needed a deflected Junior Stanislas strike to secure a point, having failed to take advantage of the Cottagers having Kagisho Dikgacoi sent off just before half-time.

Zola said: "We should have been more than 1-0 up at half-time and I had warned the players the game was not over.
"What was poor was that when we conceded a goal, the whole team lost faith and lost belief, that's what I really hate.
"I don't like that kind of attitude. We have to react and we have to be stronger. We can't let this happen after one goal again. I made those points in the dressing room.
"I smelled something was wrong because it looked too easy. We were passing the ball fantastically well and creating chances, but not scoring and that's not good.
"It was very difficult for us to get the draw but, at the end of the day, it was a fair result.
