West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard is proud of last Monday’s goal in victory at Wolves.
On Monday, he was at his best yet again to lead West Ham to a 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored a sensational individual goal before playing his part in the second for Pablo Fornals with an audacious piece of skill, then laying on the third for Jarrod Bowen with a perfectly weighted pass.
“We’re in really good spirits at the moment – the whole team is, to be honest,” he told the club’s website. “It was a good victory and obviously we’re in the top four and we want to maintain that position now.
“It’s up with the best goals I’ve ever scored. It’s similar to a goal I scored against Watford for Manchester United, but I’d say it’s definitely up there.
“With the spin for Pablo’s goal, it was just using my initiative because the ball was going out of play and I just had to get their as quickly as I could, and by the time I got there I knew the defender was there, so I knew I had to spin immediately.
“We’re playing with confidence and winning games and when you’re doing that, things like that will come, and thankfully it came to me.”
