West Ham striker Cole aiming to build on Fulham brace

West Ham United striker Carlton Cole was delighted with his brace in victory at Fulham.

Cole put the success at Craven Cottage down to a combination of clinical finishing and sheer hard work and determination.

"It's a much-needed result for us," Cole told WHUTV. "The lads all pulled in the same direction. You saw the spirit when we went a goal down. We didn't get disappointed. We didn't let it affect us and that's what we really needed - everyone to pull in the same direction and that's what we did.

"I always knew this would be a period which might define our season. I knew we were going to get something at Fulham - I just had that feeling. These things do happen. Everything went our way.

"The boys worked really hard. We left everything on that pitch and fair play to all my team-mates because everyone did the right thing to get the result and that's what we needed."
