West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce impressed with Andy Carroll goal

West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce says that he was pleased with Andy Carroll's goal against Swansea City on Sunday.

West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has expressed his delight with Andy Carroll's goal against Swansea City on Sunday.

The striker opened the scoring in the 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium with a left-footed strike after maneuvering past several Swans defenders.

Allardyce, who was forced to miss the game due to a chest infection, says that Carroll's goal was worthy of winning the match.

"I saw the game from home and it was a fabulous finish from Andy. He's smashed a number of fantastic goals with his feet," he told BBC Sport.

"Andy has a lot of all-round ability and it's just a shame it didn't win us the game."

West Ham are seventh in the Premier League following the result.
