West Ham boss Allardyce tells Sakho: Just keep doing what you do...

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce is happy for Diafra Sakho to continue doing what he does best.

Sakho's headed opener at Burnley made it six goals in as many starts, while Enner Valencia's also nodded a second - his fourth for Club and country within the space of a week.

"I would tell Diafra to just keep going," Big Sam enthused to whufc.com. "He's hit the ground well and surprised us all and we just want to make sure it continues. It's my job to make sure he keeps his feet on the ground and doesn't get carried away.

"He has so much energy and desire. Before he goes out I can see it in him - he just feels like he's going to score and when we needed him again he delivered.
