West Ham midfielder Lanzini happy scoring in victory over Udinese

West Ham midfielder Manuel Lanzini was happy to score in victory over Udinese.

Lanzini struck in the 3-1 friendly win on Sunday.

He told the club's website: "It was good for me and good for the team because it was our second friendly game that we've had and it's good to win and good for us.

"Of course, we want to play like this. We work for this, to create chances, to play well and to have the ball because that's important for the team, because when we have the ball we will have more chances to win the game.

"In this game, we played well, and we deserved to win.

"For my goal, I saw the opportunity to shoot, so I shoot and I think it was a little bit lucky!

"I try to do this and when I see the moment to shoot, I shoot, and luckily for me it was a goal.

"I work hard to be able to do this. In training, I practice and that's very important, both for us and for young players who are trying to learn new skills like this.

"Practice is important and that's it. You have to practice in training, but also in games you need to not be afraid to try it."
