West Ham management were delighted with their 2-0 preseason win against Servette.

The travelling squad comprised a combination of experienced seniors and ten Academy of Football prospects, all of whom did themselves credit according to Nolan.

Two of them, defender Aji Alese and forward Divin Mubama, scored the goals that defeated Servette in a keenly-contested game that saw the West Ham create plenty of chances and their opponents hit the woodwork on three occasions.

Speaking to West Ham TV, assistant coach Kevin Nolan said: "The Gaffer has put the lads through their paces and the lads have worked really hard this week in what's been a fantastic location, and it was good to finish it off with a 2-0 win.

"They did hit the bar and hit the post and we got away with it a couple of times with the chances they created, but you've got to have a little but of luck and it's a fantastic end to the week, which is really great for us.

"I think the good thing about it is that the manager wants to start breeding that winning mentality and that started today. He will say pre-season is about fitness, but as soon as the games start he wants that competition, to win games, keep clean sheets and do everything right and this week has gone really well and he's delighted. Touch wood, there are no injuries to the lads and we can go again on Monday."
