West Ham defender Jonathan Spector says new manager Gianfranco Zola has made a positive impact.

"He's had an impact on the club since he's returned to English football, and I think it's a positive impact," Spector said.

"I know the results as of late haven't been what we want, but just in terms of the way the team is playing, I think we're playing much better football, and I think that in the long run it's going to pay off."
