West Ham United striker Carlton Cole was delighted for Valon Behrami and Julien Faubert to join him on the scoresheet in their 3-0 defeat of Hull City.

Behrami set West Ham United on their way to a vital 3-0 Barclays Premier League victory over Hull City with a calm finish within the opening two-and-a-half minutes. Faubert then put the icing on the cake with an unstoppable, 25-yard screamer deep into added time at the end of the second half.

In between, Cole had netted his ninth goal of the season with a neat finish from the Frenchman's inch-perfect through ball.

"Valon took his goal well and could have got a hat-trick," Cole told whufc.com. "Everyone was up for it before the game and we followed the manager's instructions.

"Julien has been fantastic. He's been on fire recently. He's set up my last two goals and he got his goal, and fair play to him. I'm so happy for the lad. He's been through a lot recently, with his Mum passing away, so I'm well pleased for him.

"As I said before the game in a pre-match interview, the boys were up for this one and that the manager had got everyone up before the game, and we all responded in the right way."
