"Valentin Castellanos, who joined from Lazio earlier this month, scored the winner in the first half of extra-time, with other new recruit Pablo Felipe also playing his part. West Ham's January spending has already hit a reported £47m, and Nuno explained that the team need more new additions if they are to recover from their poor start."
""They [Pablo and Taty] bring us more options," Nuno told West Ham's website. "We are trying to rebalance the squad. "We still need bodies, but [the QPR win] was a very important day for us." A London derby is up next for West Ham, with a short trip to face Thomas Frank's Tottenham on Saturday, with both sides in desperate need of a win in the top-flight."
""I think the win gives us a lot of confidence to keep fighting for our goals back in the Premier League," Felipe added. "We want to continue showing the fight we showed on Sunday, and achieve our goals together. Of course, a win is always good for both the players and the fans. "We want to continue on this path now, because it's the one we all want to follow. We're all looking forward to Saturday, and we'll be ready.""
West Ham secured an FA Cup third-round win over QPR, ending a 10-game run without victory. Valentin Castellanos scored the extra-time winner while new recruit Pablo Felipe contributed. The club has reportedly spent about £47m in January and the manager says more players are needed to rebalance the squad and recover from a poor start. The Hammers face Tottenham in a London derby as both teams seek crucial Premier League wins. West Ham sit seven points above 17th-placed Nottingham Forest. Felipe says the cup win boosts confidence and momentum ahead of the next league match.
