West Ham United defender Leo Chambers was thrilled to be on the bench after victory over Southampton.

The defender, who was an unused substitute for Saturday's 4-1 Barclays Premier League victory over Southampton at the Boleyn Ground, thanked Academy Director Tony Carr and his staff for giving him a top-class football education since he joined the club a decade ago.

"The same kind of coaching you receive starts from as low as the Under-9s and continues until you reach the Development Squad," he told West Ham TV. "You start training in the way we do very young so it helps you when you reach higher levels."
