James Collins stars again after signing new West Ham deal

Aston Villa 1 West Ham 1: Manager Slaven Bilic hailed James Collins after the defender celebrated a new deal to help earn West Ham a point at Aston Villa.

The centre-back signed a new two-and-a-half year contract on Thursday and was his side’s outstanding player at Villa Park.

Collins cleared Alan Hutton’s header off the line in the second half as the Hammers hung on for a point — their fifth straight Premier League draw.
