Zola hails Franco after West Ham victory

West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola singled out Guillermo Franco for praise after their 5-3 victory over Burnley.

Franco caught the eye for Zola's side, setting up Junior Stanislas to make it two before grabbing the goal his performance deserved just after the break with a header from a Stanislas free-kick.

"Guillermo has been outstanding and gave us balance and a lot more," Zola told whufc.com.

"Today he was outstanding. A quality player and he is getting physically better. His quality has surprised everybody and he is getting better and better."
