West Ham United defender Winston Reid has stated that the Hammers will move on from their disappointing exit from the EFL cup.

The Hammers missed a great opportunity to make it into the semi-finals of the EFL Cup after suffering a 1-0 defeat against a second string Arsenal side on Tuesday night.

Reid said: "The positive from Tuesday is that we limited Arsenal's chances. We kept hold of what we have been doing well in the last few games, which is filling areas in front of the box, getting men behind the ball, getting blocks in and making things difficult for the opposition.

"We do need to be better with the ball once we have it, and give the ball to each other in better situations, but we'll take the positives from the game and move forward. We know what we need to work on.

"We wanted to do well at Arsenal, but our priority is the league and we need to get further up in the table and continue the form that we've been in. We've got some important games coming up before the New Year and we need to focus 100 per cent on those."
