The England international said the Blues were just focusing up picking wins and not worrying about their league position

“It’s still early doors to be looking at the table, we have to just keep picking up three points.”

“West Ham are a great side, they gave been great this year and we had to be patient for the second and third goals,” he told Sky Sports.
“The boys said we needed a performance and that’s what we did today. As a striker, scoring goals gives you confidence, my team-mates created a lot of chances and we defended well as a team.
“[My goals were] something you do in the park, get in the right areas and be ready when the ball lands.”
