“It’s always nice as a striker to score on your debut but of course the most important thing was getting the win and we managed that,” he told West Ham TV.
“Full credit to the lads because Blackpool came at us but we put in a good team effort and we did it and we enjoyed it.
“I think it’s always nice when you go to a new club to have a good relationship with the fans. I’m very lucky that, over the years, I’ve had a great relationship with them at every club I’ve been at. You only get a good relationship with the fans if you are good at what you do. I did that tonight, but it was about getting the three points.”
