Ilan was delighted with his strike for West Ham United in their 2-2 draw at Everton.

The Brazilian striker also hopes his goals can secure him another year's contract at Upton Park.

Ilan's £20,000-a-week deal expires this summer but the Hammers have an option to extend it by 12 months.

Ilan, 29, said: "We didn't win but it was a vital point.

"We've got five games left and need to win two or three of them."

Ilan, who has netted twice since signing on a free from St Etienne in February, added: "I've not had many opportunities here but I've scored a couple of goals. If I play more, I might score more."
