West Ham boss Allardyce delighted with classy Cresswell winner

Wet Ham United boss Sam Allardyce was delighted with Aaron Cresswell's matchwinning goal against Newcastle United.

Stewart Downing fed Cheikhou Kouyate at the edge of the box. His scuffed shot fell straight into the path of the on-rushing full-back Cresswell, who guided the ball into the bottom corner.

Allardyce said: "There is huge praise for Aaron for the quality of his finish. It was fantastic.

"He is a full-back and showed more attacking players how to put the ball in the back of the net today."
