West Ham defender Kyle Knolye enjoyed Athletic Bilbao experience

West Ham United defender Kyle Knolye enjoyed the experience of meeting Athletic Bilbao in the Premier League International Cup.

Bilbao ranout winners, 5-3.

"It was a good experience playing against European opposition, but I don't think we started the game well enough. That then set the tone for the rest of the game, we suffered from individual errors too. We got back into the game but it wasn't enough," Knolye, an England U18 international, told whufc.com.

"They were good, a typical Spanish side they were good in possession, more technical than other teams we've played against. Other sides are more physical, Sunderland last week were much more physical."
