Benrahma happy to play role in West Ham winner

Said Benrahma was pleased to be part of West Ham's win against Fulham.

The winger came off the bench to set up Tomas Soucek for a latter winner.

"I'm so happy for the team," he told the club's website. "For me, I've got my first assist too, so I'm happy. We won and that was so important for us.

"It was a difficult game, and Fulham made it tough, but we stayed solid and it was a good win in the end.

"Areola made that save from me, but that's football, sometimes you score and sometime you don't. Next time, I hope!

"And on the penalty for me it was nothing, but VAR [disagreed]. It was a big moment when Lukasz made the save."
