West Ham fullback Ilunga grateful to fans for DR Congo support

West Ham United fullback Herita Ilunga is pleased they're still in the FA Cup.

He told whufc.com: "We are still thinking positively as we have been over the last few weeks and even though we drew against Middlesbrough, it will not take our confidence away from us. Now we are looking forward to playing at Bolton in the Premier League and then after that we will think about Middlesbrough and the replay."

Ilunga also took time out to thank the two West Ham supporters - Dan Boden and Dan Honey - who took a DR Congo flag to the Premier League fixture at Middlesbrough on 1 November.

"I was very grateful and happy when I saw my country's flag at Middlesbrough. It was a great gesture and I want to thank them for it."
