Grant defiant but Irons held

DEFIANT West Ham manager Avram Grant maintained his struggling side had again shown enough to secure victory, despite having to once more settle for only a point against West Brom.

The Irons remain rooted the foot of the table as they continue to search for a first league win since September 25.

Peter Odemwingie had put the Baggies in front from the penalty spot on 28 minutes, but West Ham fought back level before the break when Scott Parker smashed in a 25-yard effort.
