Nuno credits Lincoln's resistance despite nine men
Six goals against nine men look straightforward on paper. Nuno Espírito Santo said Lincoln City still caused West Ham problems before his side found the patience to make their advantage count.
Speaking to the written press, as reported by The Stacey West, Nuno said West Ham initially rushed shots from distance while looking for gaps. He credited Lincoln for continuing to compete and said West Ham improved their ball circulation and finishing after scoring again in the second half.
