West Ham signing Xande Silva delighted with debut hat-trick

West Ham signing Xande Silva was delighted with his hat-trick on U23 debut against Tottenham.

The 21-year-old scored three goals in nine minutes of football either side of half-time to take the Irons from a goal down to a 3-1 victory in the side's first Premier 2 fixture of the 2018/19 campaign.

“I'm happy. I'm really happy," the Portuguese youngster told West Ham TV. “It's my debut for West Ham and it's also my first three goals – a hat-trick – and I'm delighted. Now I must keep going and keep scoring.

“Scoring goals is my job. I'm here to score goals. I must do this. I'm a striker. That's it. That's what I do."
