Manuel Pellegrini impressed with Jack Wilshere and Carlos Sanchez after West Ham win vs Newport

West Ham United won 2-0 against Newport County in the Carabao Cup clash on Tuesday night.

Jack Wilshere scored his first goal for the Hammers as the London outfit progressed through to the next round of the competition.

Summer signing Pablo Fornals scored the other goal for the Hammers – tapping in from Felipe Anderson’s low cross – to secure the victory against the League Two side.

Manuel Pellegrini said to the club’s official website that he is impressed with the performance of Wilshere. The former Arsenal midfielder has looked in good shape during the pre-season and expectations are high from him.
