Samir Nasri was pleased with his debut for West Ham's FA Cup win over Birmingham City.

Nasri impressed during an hour-long debut.

“I'm happy to get my first minutes in the West Ham shirt, but most important was the team performance and winning 2-0, keeping a clean sheet," he said. “That was the goal today and that's what we did.

“It was important to not let Birmingham get into the game with confidence, so we pushed from the start and scoring the goal that early made everyone more comfortable on the ball and able to play our football.

“The coach rotated the squad and had young players in the team, so it was important to score an early goal for everyone to be a little more free on the ball.

“It was a tricky game, because they didn't want to do anything with the ball, but when they had it they played that long ball and tried to catch us on the break.

“I felt good, honestly I thought I would struggle a little more with the rhythm as my last game was 13 months ago.

“I'm just relieved that everything is now behind me and happy about those first 58 minutes. It was good and I'm just looking forward to the next game."
