But the Spurs striker's spot-kick was saved by Green. Lucas Neill believes West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green deserves a call-up to the England side following his stoppage-time penalty save against Tottenham. Green's brilliant stop from Jermain Defoe ensured the game ended 1-1 and Neill was particularly relieved as it was his foul on Defoe that led to the spot-kick being awarded. 'Thankfully Green's pulled out the save at the death, we deserved a draw, it was an entertaining game,' he told Sky Sports 1. 'He's staking a claim for a spot in the national team, especially as there's a bit of a crisis. It's about time he got a chance.' Carlton Cole, who put the Hammers ahead in the first-half before Michael Dawson's equaliser, added: 'I felt if we could have taken some of our chances then we could have won the game. But we'll take a point.'
