Under-pressure Allardyce felt ‘nervous’ before West Ham clinched vital win
Under-pressure West Ham boss Sam Allardyce admitted he felt anxious prior to his team’s late goals against Fulham.
The Hammers, who like their opponents have struggled this season, led and seemed in total control before strikes from substitutes Carlton Cole and Joe Cole completed a 3-0 victory.
It meant a fifth consecutive defeat for Fulham, whose manager Martin Jol was again barracked by angry Whites fans.
Allardyce said: “My only disappointment is that we didn’t score more goals before the subs came on – something I was getting nervous about.
“We all know with the way we are at the moment that one slip and Fulham could have got something they didn’t deserve.
“It’s great as a manager to finally get the result we deserved and have been looking for. We scored three and on balance could have scored more.”
