Green admits lucky guess

West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green has admitted that his penalty save from Benjani at Fratton Park was a pure guess and spoke of his delight at securing the Hammers a point.

After the Premier League clash at Fratton Park ended in stalemate, Green said: "(It was) just a pure guess. I went that way last time and therefore did it again."

The save secured a point in the goalless match at Fratton Park, and Green described the decision to give a spot kick as "unfortunate".

Green claimed the visitors had the best chances.

"It would have been nice to take one of our chances," he told Setanta.

"Of the clear-cut chances I think we had the better ones. In a tight game like that it's going to be decided on one little incident or decision and I thought we could have nicked it."
