West Ham boss Zola wants more goals from Parker

West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola wants Scott Parker to keep hitting the back of the net.

The Hammers are still flirting with relegation and Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Chelsea did nothing to help their cause.

But manager Zola saw a positive sign in Parker's stunning equaliser and hopes the midfielder can produce more of the same.

Zola said: "Scott is unbelievable. He scored a great goal and I keep saying to him that he should be focusing on his shooting a bit more because it could make a big difference to his game.

"Other than his goal, I thought he was excellent. There was a time at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second when he was totally in control of the midfield."
