West Ham United midfielder Robert Snodgrass says Jeremy Ngakia can be proud of his debut in last night's defeat to Liverpool.

Snodgrass was impressed with how the 19-year-old held his own against the Premier League leaders.

He told whufc.com: “He's a terrific talent.

"We've got a lot of talent coming through and all us professionals are trying to nurture these lads as best we can.

“It is a tough game to throw him in, but we've got to test them mentally and physically and see where they're at, but he was terrific tonight. He came into a team that was willing him to do well."
