Charlton boss Alan Curbishley was relieved that his side had secured a point against a fluent Hammers outfit after the 1-1 draw at The Valley.

"All credit to West Ham - their passing and movement was fantastic - and we've gained a point," he said.

"If you'd said to me, after the way they played against us at Upton Park, that we'd get a point I'd have taken that.

"Since we lost 5-0 at West Ham we've stopped letting the goals in but it's affected us the other way (not scoring enough goals). I can't have it all ways."

Charlton defender Andy Todd, who produced a goal-line block to deny Joe Cole, agreed his team had to work hard for the point.

The defender told Sky Sports: "We played a very good team - and we just about hung on.

"West Ham made it very hard for us. They kept the ball very well.

"We were under the cosh a little bit but it was a great strike by di Canio."
