West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal admits he feared a thrashing against Arsenal.
The Irons fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Arsenal on Sunday/
To be honest, I was afraid of this - it was like the momentum from Newcastle," Coufal said. We were 2-0 down against one of the best teams in the world.
But [we had] nothing to lose and there was one situation where we pressed them and suddenly the crowd pushed us. We turned the game, we scored and we were pushing, pushing, pushing.
Suddenly, we were 2-2. From this situation we found it is possible to play against them. It is possible to press them, it is possible to hurt them."
Coufal added: You have to ask them why they dropped the points at Liverpool and here. We tried to play our game, we had our tactics and of course the crowd helped us very well because we need that support from 60,000 people. When you feel it on the pitch, they can push you much harder, to your limits."
