Speaking to West Ham TV Nolan also expressed his pleasure at scoring against one of his best mates. “I managed to nick it and get a goal and executed it well.
“I noticed that Harps was a bit over [to one side of the goal] because I think he was sweeping up for the defence, but he got a good hand to it and I thought he might have pushed it away. Of course, I’m delighted that he didn’t. I’m delighted with another goal and delighted with another three points.
“I think you saw on Monday that a few of the lads who came in who didn’t play at Southampton did really, really well and I’m pleased for them.
“We’ve just got to keep going and keep turning losses into draws and draws into wins. As long as we can stay up there until around Christmas, then we can start getting a few more wins and pulling away from the rest of them.”
