Sakho pleased by "special" goal

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho has described scoring the winning goal against Bristol City in the FA Cup as a "special feeling".

Sakho was the difference between the two sides on Sunday as the Hammers reached the fifth round with a 1-0 victory at Ashton Gate.

West Ham will find out who they must face in the last 16 of the competition when the draw is made tonight.

"I am really pleased to be back playing again and to score such an important goal for the team," the Senegal international told the club's official website.

"To score my first goal in the FA Cup was a special feeling and to be able to celebrate with the West Ham fans is always good. We must now make sure we don't waste that effort by winning in our next game and going as far as we can."

Sakho and his West Ham teammates return to Premier League action on Saturday when they face Liverpool at Anfield.
