West Ham United midfielder Stewart Downing has tipped his new teammate Enner Valencia to continue to score goals for the club.

Valencia netted his first goal for the Hammers against Hull City on Monday night as Sam Allardyce's men drew 2-2 at the KC Stadium.

Downing told reporters: "That's a big goal for him. It always good to get your first out of the way.

"And if he keeps striking them like that he'll get a few more for us."

Valencia, an Ecuador international, signed for the Hammers for £12m during the summer.
