Javier Hernandez has admitted he hopes his match-winning contribution against Huddersfield on Saturday is enough to earn him more starts at West Ham United.
The Hammers were 3-1 down in the 75th minute but a rare goal for Angelo Ogbonna and seven-minute brace going into injury time for Hernandez sent the London Stadium into raptures.
After full-time, ‘Chicharito’ told the official club website his happiness at helping the team, but also his eagerness to start more games and have more minutes on the pitch.
I want to be on the pitch as much as I can, to be honest. If I need to help my team-mates as a substitute, I’ll try to do my best, but I want to start and to play as many minutes as I can. Hopefully, I can keep proving that by scoring goals, with assists and good performances, and we can try and get in the top seven.
Hernandez has grown a reputation for clutch goals over the years at clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid, and replaced a disappointing Michail Antonio at half-time to make a huge impact.
West Ham remain unbeaten at home in 2019 and host Everton next once the international break is out of the way, in a match where Hernandez will be mightily let down if Marko Arnautovic is preferred.
