West Ham United teenage striker Frank Nouble was delighted with his performance in their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.

Nouble won praise for his display from teammates.

"I was delighted to make my first Premier League start," he told whufc.com. "I was happy when I got told I was playing before the game and I just tried to work hard and get a goal.

"It's definitely time for me to score. I've got two games under my belt now and there should be goals coming in the third and fourth!"

The former Chelsea trainee added: "Coming from last year when I was playing in the reserves and stuff like that, playing in the Premier League on Sky is a bit different. I'm delighted and chuffed for what the manager has done for me. He gives me tips, little small stuff that strikers do. He was a two-footed striker so it's easy for me to watch and learn from what he does.
