Luis Boa Morte was thrilled to net his comeback goal in West Ham United's 1-1 draw with Manchester City.

Boa Morte's goal - his second in 81 games over three years in east London and his first at home - arrived after 17 minutes of an entertaining final-day fixture. He comes off contract in June.

He told WHUTV: "I am really pleased to have come back and to have scored. I want to say 'Thank you' to the medical department and especially to head of rehabilitation Stijn Vandenbroucke, because he spent most of the days with me.

"I've never had an injury like this so to see the others playing and not getting the results has been hard. This has happened, so now I'm hoping that nothing like this will come in my way again and I can carry on in my career.

"It's been important to be at Chadwell Heath with the other players. It's been hard - six hours a day in the training ground, then you have to go home and have energy for your family as well. It's been quite hard. I was going through a coaching course, but I had to give it up as, at one stage, I couldn't do any more."
