West Ham recorded a 1-1 draw away to Leicester City on Saturday – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter praised goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for his performance.

The Hammers earned a point in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium and had to make do with 10 men for nearly 60 minutes, as captain Mark Noble was shown a straight red card in the first-half.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side had taken the lead through defender Fabian Balbuena and the London club defender valiantly in the second period.

But Leicester finally found an equaliser in the 89th minute through a deflected shot from Wilfred Ndidi off Balbuena.

But goalkeeper Fabianski once again proved he’s been a shrewd bit of summer business for Pellergrini, as he pulled off a number of eye-catching saves against the foxes.

Fabianski, 33, is an experienced shot-stopper that proved his worth with former club Swansea City and has settled quickly in London.

A selection of West Ham fans were thrilled with the goalkeeper’s performance at the weekend and one described him as massively underrated.

Here are some of the tweets on Fabianski’s display:
