West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini was delighted with their 8-0 rout of Macclesfield Town.

The Hammers are into the next round of the Carabao Cup after the victory.

“We played with intensity and we tried to continue playing in the same way," said the manager.

“A lot of the time when you play against a lower league team you don't play with the same pace, and you think you can walk to victory but we were very professional.

“I talked to the players before the game, and said that it's up to us to make the difference. You have to play with intensity and you can't underestimate your rival and for me the best thing we did is that we didn't underestimate them."
