Former West Ham United player and manager Harry Redknapp has heaped praise on centre-back Angelo Ogbonna following his performance against Fulham on Saturday.
The experienced Italian centre-back was making his first Premier League start in more than a month for West Ham against London rivals Fulham, partnering Kurt Zouma at the heart of the back four, with David Moyes changing three of the four-man defence from the side that had lost 5-1 at home to Newcastle United less than 72 hours earlier.
In the game, Ogbonna and Zouma especially were excellent at the back and between them, made 25 of the Hammers’ 61 clearances, with Ogbonna chipping in 12 and Zouma adding 13 of his own.
