Pablo Fornals: It's in our mentality to bounce back

Pablo Fornals says West Ham United will not dwell on Sunday's 3-2 defeat to Leeds United as they aim to maintain their challenge at the top end of the Premier League table.

Fornals scored the Hammers' second equaliser against the Peacocks at London Stadium on Sunday, only for Jack Harrison's hat-trick to ultimately send us to defeat.

Fornals conceded that his side had missed a big opportunity to register a fifth straight victory, but is convinced we can bounce back swiftly when we head to Manchester United next weekend.

"It feels like a big opportunity missed, 100 per cent," the No8 admitted. "It was tough today – we came back twice in the game, so we were disappointed [to concede a third].

"We tried to the end, this is why we are here because we fight to the end. We had many chances today but we didn’t get any points.

"It’s not what we want, to concede three goals in a game, and not what we’ve been doing. 

"It happened on Sunday and we will work on that, to start again with the clean sheets. 

"It’s all in our hands, all in our mentality. We want to continue how we have been doing, and it doesn’t matter who the next game is against, we are going to fight and try to get the three points."
