The Hammers' victory was marked by the debut of new wing-back El Hadji Malick Diouf, who impressed Potter with his performance.

"I thought El Hadji Malick Diouf did well," Potter said. "You can see what he brings to the team. He attacked the back line a lot and got in some good crossing positions."

Potter also praised Diouf's enthusiasm and energy, stating that the player "looked dangerous" and "played with enthusiasm" despite only being with the team for a few days.

The win was made possible by goals from Andy Irving, Callum Marshall, and Lucas Paquetá, who played a crucial role in securing the victory.

Potter emphasized the importance of winning, saying, "It's always nice to win. That's what we play the game for, to win."

He also highlighted the team's progress, stating that they have a "good foundation" and a "good platform" to build upon, and expressed his excitement for the upcoming trip to the United States, where they will continue to train and play friendlies.
