Zavon Hines is tipping his West Ham United team-mates to build on last weekend's display when they travel to Sunderland this Saturday.
The homegrown Hammer was delighted to make a big impact off the bench against Arsenal last time out, helping inspire the team to come from two-nil down with some bright attacking play alongside Alessandro Diamanti. His pace and energy gave the Gunners back-line plenty to think about and he won the free-kick that paved the way for Carlton Cole's equaliser before Diamanti made it 2-2 from the penalty spot.
"The manager just said go on and keep running, do your best for the team," Hines said about his contribution as a replacement for Guillermo Franco in the 64th minute of a pulsating encounter. "That is what I tried to do. It was just exciting to play against Arsenal.

"It could do a lot for us looking to Sunderland. For us to come back in that way against a team like Arsenal is great. We have been confident but the results have not gone our way. We will be confident now trust me, especially from coming back against Arsenal. Everyone is on a high.
"It was kind of like a win for us and everyone was excited in the dressing room. People thought we might have lost but we kept going."
The England Under-21 striker also had extra reason to be happy at the Arsenal match as he was presented with his SBOBET player of the month award for last month after a poll of fans on whufc.com.
"I am very pleased to receive this. It is good to know that fans think I have been the best player in September but it is about the team to be honest, not the individual."
