West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek was always confident scoring against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

Soucek produced a late winner for the 3-2 triumph.

He told the club's website: "I am so happy that I could help the team with the winning goal.

"We just needed to win this game and we won it so it showed. In the end, I think we deserved to win because we tried to win. I was so happy for the fans as they supported us for the whole 90 minutes. We won on Thursday and won on Sunday, so we now have 14 days to recover and get ready for the other games.

I was just happy to enjoy the moment and it's great to celebrate.

"This celebration had some meaning which my family knows about and it was also my third chance and I was also frustrated after the first two because I was so close, hitting the bar and then forcing a great save from their 'keeper.

I was hoping that I could score still and get the winning goal. I believed and it happened, so it was nearly stoppage time and we did well in the end to get the three points!"
