West Ham 2-0 Norwich: Collins and Diame net late on as Hammers continue defensive run

James Collins and Mohamed Diame struck in the last ten minutes as West Ham got the better of Norwich in a relegation battle.
With five minutes remaining neither team looked like scoring, but the centre-back netted from a Mohamed Diame centre.
Sam Allardyce's men have now won three games in a row, and have failed to concede a goal in their last four - building from a fine draw at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.
Chris Hughton came into the game after impressively holding Manchester City at the weekend.
