West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce praises on-loan striker Andy Carroll following his two goals against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has praised Andy Carroll for the striker's contribution in their 3-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

The on-loan Liverpool forward scored twice for the Hammers, and Allardyce lauded the England international following the game.

"Andy put two goals on the end of a good performance," Allardyce told the club's official website. "I think his good performances have been with us before and the fans always appreciate his ability here but he today he's shown them what he is all about.

"He's shown them his ability outside of the box and the ability he's got in the box, along with his goalscoring ability. I hope this is kicking him on to being a regular goal scorer for us in the next eight games or so and upping his total as much as he can until the end of the season.

"Andy is in a good frame of mind now and finally after a long wait he has improved his match fitness and that's why I think you're seeing the performances and goals that you're seeing."

Carroll has been on loan at the Hammers since August last year.
