The West Ham United ace played a key role in his side’s win over Tottenham Hotspur yesterday.

Hammers skipper Mark Noble spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s incredible 3-2 win over Spurs in the Carabao Cup last night, and shared what he told his teammates during the half-time interval at Wembley Stadium, as quoted by the club’s official website.

West Ham have endured an incredibly challenging start to their 2017/18 campaign, and produced a totally lacklustre against Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Friday, so last night’s tremendous win was very much needed, at the very least from a morale perspective.

And with a huge match away at Crystal Palace next up for the east London outfit, it will be absolutely vital for them to carry the momentum they gained from last night’s victory on into the rest of their season.

And Noble spoke to reporters after the match, sharing how he tried to reinvigorate his side during the half-time interval at Wembley, as quoted by WHUFC.com:

“I said to the boys you have always got to believe. You can’t give up. We are Premier League footballers; you can’t just give up.”

Whilst Noble has received criticism from some sections of the Hammers support over recent months, his importance to the team is clear to see, and they will need him to be at his very best for the duration of the season, if they are to enjoy a successful campaign.
