Diame delighted to get on scoresheet in West Ham win

Momo Diame was delighted with his goalscoring performance in West Ham United's victory over Fulham.

Reflecting on a job well done, Diame reckons the three points were just reward for an excellent collective effort.

He told West Ham TV: "I really enjoyed it, I think all the team enjoyed it. We're back again to working hard together, defending and attacking as a unit. This is pay-back, when you work hard as a team like this, you have to win.

"I had a lot of chances to score a goal, but [recently] I've been missing those chances. On Saturday, I had that little bit of luck, so I'm happy about that.

"I work hard to chase the ball and I put the pressure on the midfield, so I won the ball back and just ran. I saw Modibo [Maiga] on the left but I took my chance and I had the good fortune that a Fulham player touched the ball and the 'keeper didn't see it. We'll just keep going and work hard for the next game."
