Mayers says Cardiff comeback left him hungry for another chance

Ezra Mayers finally got another opening at Cardiff, and it came with West Ham 3-0 down. The 19-year-old defender came on at half-time as West Ham fought back to draw 3-3.

Mayers told West Ham Official that he wanted to bring energy and aggression without the ball. He said the high press and Divine Mukasa's goal gave the team belief they could recover. Having played only once earlier this season, Mayers said watching from the side had been tough and that he was hungry for another chance.
