West Ham coach Hendon full of praise for goalscorers Morrison, Maiga

West Ham United management were delighted seeing Ravel Morrison and Modibo Maiga on the scoresheet in victory over Pacos de Ferreira.

Morrison has now scored six goals in pre-season, with Maiga's strike also taking him up to three, and Hendon was pleased for both of them.

Hammers coach Ian Hendon told West Ham TV: "Ravel has done very well in pre-season," he added. "He's come back and looked focused in what he's doing, and in his football. I think his performances have showed that."

"Modibo, too, has performed well and scored a week before the season. He did ever so well when the ball went up to him today, he held it up, won his headers and flick-ons, so it was nice for him to get on the scoresheet."
