Defender says Hammers must keep up good form

West Ham United defender Aaron Cresswell says his side “must continue” their good form going into the second half of the season.

The Hammers extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games with their 4-1 victory over Huddersfield Town at the weekend.

Cresswell returned to the starting line-up against David Wagner’s side after returning from injury, and put in a solid performance as part of a back four consisting of Angelo Ogbonna, James Collins and Pablo Zabaleta – and the Englishman says they must pick up where they left off next weekend.

“It was a good game to come back in for, it was an important one, so to get a 4-1 win away from home is massive. Some of the goals we scored were fantastic.” Cresswell said.



“It was just eleven seconds after half-time that we got the second goal and it was a great finish from Marko. He was on fire, scoring one goal and setting the other three up. You can’t ask for any more.

“The link-up play between him and Manu, especially in the second half, was great to look at. Watching them from behind, passing and moving, running in behind and Manu taking the space up, was fantastic.

“We can’t focus on teams below us, we need to focus on ourselves going into games like Saturday’s and collecting the three points.”

West Ham welcome Bournemouth to the London Stadium this Saturday.
