West Ham boss Pellegrini happy with another Wilshere cameo

West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini was happy to hand Jack Wilshere more minutes for their 3-0 win over Southampton.

The midfielder continued his comeback from a long-term ankle injury with an eye-catching cameo.

“Jack demonstrated with the minutes he played after a long injury that he will never forget how to play football," Pellegrini observed. “I always say he is a different player so when we consider we didn't have Jack, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manu Lanzini and Samir Nasri for long parts of the season, that's why I told you it was a good season.

“If you have those technical players 100 per cent fit, of course the team changes."
