Nuno says West Ham must build momentum before Swansea trip

Nuno Espírito Santo wants West Ham to make Wednesday's 6–0 win at Lincoln count when they visit Championship leaders Swansea on Saturday. Speaking to BBC Radio London's Emma Jones, he said the aim was to build momentum by performing and competing well, with pressure part of the job.

Nuno said Tomáš Souček's two goals mattered after a long spell out. He expects a tough match against Swansea and rejected the idea that facing a promotion rival makes this one uniquely must-win: every available point matters.
