West Ham United goalkeeper Marek Stech admits he's delighted with his form in the Carling Cup.

Stech was again outstanding in the victory over Sunderland.

"The Sunderland game was brilliant," Stech told WHUTV. "The whole team was just brilliant. We were passing the ball great and obviously it was only my second game. I am pleased the manager gave me a chance after the Oxford game.

"I just had one important save for the team [late on from Steed Malbranque]. They crossed it over, I came out to reduce the space, he shot at me and it hit my hands. It was quite lucky but it was good to step up in that situation."
