Nuno hails attacking return after Wrexham rout

Nuno Espirito Santo praised West Ham's attacking return and clean sheet after the 6-0 win over Wrexham sent the Hammers top of the Championship before the rest of the weekend's fixtures.

Six different players scored, and Nuno highlighted the confidence boost provided by that spread of goals. A thumping scoreline left little room for managerial varnish.

He also singled out Konstantinos Mavropanos's goal-line clearance at 1-0 as a significant moment. West Ham then pulled clear and recorded their biggest winning margin since beating Brighton 6-0 in 2012.
