Sam Allardyce delighted to end West Ham's winless run with victory over Norwich

Sam Allardyce was delighted to end a run of four games without a win after seeing his West Ham United side beat Norwich City 2-1 at Upton Park.

Norwich were enraged by Mark Clattenburg's decision to award a penalty for Ryan Bennett's slight pull on Winston Reid, but Allardyce felt the referee was correct. "Sometimes the referees give it and sometimes they don't," he said. "He was right in front of the referee and the referee has got a very good view of it. "The referee had a clear view of it. He saw this one and he gave it, and I thought it was the correct decision." West Ham now sit 11th in the Premier League, but Allardyce insisted he was still keen to improve his squad during the January transfer window. "We will try," he said. "We have been trying very hard over the last few weeks to line up [some players] in the short term. "We will wait and see as January develops."
