Danny Ings was delighted with his double in West Ham's 4-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

They were the first goals for Ings since his arrival from Aston Villa.

I will take [the second goal] all day long," he laughed, at a finish that hit Forest defender Renan Lodi on the way in. It doesn't matter how, as long it goes in the back of the net.

I don't know what to say about [the goals]. I have just thrown myself at them. When the ball is in the box, I just try to be in the best position. [The first goal] was an instinctive run, just gambling off Jarrod's shot. In that position, I knew I had to stretch for it, so seeing it hit the net was a wonderful feeling.

"For me, it is just the start on a personal note. As a striker to score your first goal, it gives you a really solid foundation to kick on and try and build some momentum.

"But doesn't matter who is scoring the goals whether it is me, Mick, Dec, Gianluca [Scamacca] or whoever, we've got the three points and we are moving forward as a team.

We know how tough the Premier League is, so for us, it is about building momentum. There is no better way to do that than winning 4-0 at home, in front of our own fans."
