Oladapo Afolayan has described his goalscoring debut for West Ham United in their 4-0 FA Cup win over Doncaster Rovers as a reward for the hard work he has put in over the last three years.
The 23-year-old has been at the London Stadium since February 2018, but he featured dominantly for West Ham U23s and had loan spells at League Two clubs Oldham Athletic and Mansfield Town.
Prior to his West Ham debut on Saturday, Afolayan played for 63 minutes in the Hammers' 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur U23 on Friday.
