Spector credits Obinna for West Ham heroics

West Ham United fullback Jonathan Spector credited Victor Obinna for his brace in their Carling Cup thrashing of Manchester United.

Spector's goals were his first at senior level in 158 appearances for the United States, Manchester United, Charlton Athletic and West Ham.

Both were laid on by Obinna, who enjoyed a memorable night of his own by chalking up assists for all four Hammers goals.

Spector told WHUTV: "I think I have Victor to thank for both of them. He put a great ball in for the header and for the second one he went for the shot and nicked it a little bit and I was just there to pick up the pieces.

"I was a bit fortunate but it worked out great!"
