West Ham United new goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen has expressed happiness over his clean sheet in the 3-0 away win against Nottingham Forest at City Ground, Softfootball reports.
The Hammers new number one had an assured performance and kept his side in the match until club captain Jarrod Bowen scored the game’s opener with six minutes left in the match. It was followed by a penalty goal from Brazilian Lucas Paquetá before Callum Wilson wrapped it up with a well taken headed goal.
Hermansen told West Ham United’s official club media that he is proud about the clean sheet and head back to the East Midlands with their first points of the premier league season.
He said:
“It’s definitely a lovely afternoon here in Nottingham. We’re just happy to finally get on the board, both with a clean sheet and three goals, three points. It’s an amazing feeling.
“I think it was a pretty decent performance from everyone, from the team. We defended really, really well. We only allowed them a few crosses, a few shots on goal from positions where we could handle it. So, overall, I’m just really, really happy with the performance.
“As we spoke about in the dressing room, I think we still have so much more to give as a group, quality-wise on the ball. So, we will definitely take our team performances to a higher level.”
“I think the good thing with football is there’s always a new game the next week. It’s about not getting too high or too low. We’ve just got to keep on going and we really showed that as a team today, that we’re strong.
“I always love the big games, and I love to go out there and show what I can do and what we can do as a team, so I can’t wait!”
After the international break, West Ham’s next premier league match will be at home to Tottenham Hotspur on September 13.
