'Excellent' - Craig Dawson impressed by rarely-seen West Ham man after Leicester City draw

Craig Dawson has praised Issa Diop for his performance against Leicester City. The West Ham defender was in the starting XI for the Sunday match, since Kurt Zouma was unavailable. When Zouma returned last month, Diop automatically fell to the bench. However, speaking to the club's official website, the 31-year-old claimed he believes the Frenchman did great against Foxes' attack.

“He was excellent,” Dawson said.   “Fair play to him, because he’s been working hard on the training pitch and he’s been excellent in training.   “So, he’s got an opportunity and he did very well. Issa is very quiet but we’ve started to hear him on the pitch, which is good. He was excellent, so well done to him.”
