West Ham United midfielder Matt Taylor dismisses claims that Tottenham Hotspur are a one-man team, ahead of the match between the two on Monday night.

West Ham United midfielder Matt Taylor has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur are far from a one-man team.

Winger Gareth Bale has scored six of Spurs' last seven goals and Hammers boss Sam Allardyce said over the weekend that they would need to stop him in tomorrow's match between the two teams.

Taylor, though, says that West Ham will not solely focus on the Welshman as Spurs have lots of good players.

"Everybody's talking about Gareth Bale because he's playing well and scoring goals," Taylor told the club's official website. "He's one of a number of players that we're going to have to shackle on Monday night to get a result.

"But I wouldn't want to suggest that Tottenham are a one player team because they're not.

"They've got lots and lots of exceptional players and we've got to make sure that we keep as close an eye on those players as we can."

West Ham welcome Spurs to Upton Park at 8pm tomorrow night.
