West Ham attacker Soucek: We deserved Chelsea thrashing

West Ham United attacker Tomáš Souček struggled to find the words when he was asked to sum up his team's loss to Chelsea.

The Hammers were battered 5-0 on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League to a resurgent Blues.

Club media reported that there was “disappointment, embarrassment and even anger" from Souček when speaking about how they had played.

“I have to say we really deserved it because we did not do what we were told," he admitted post-game.

“We did some good individual things but not as a team. Going forward and going backwards, we did many things wrong, and we got punished for that. On the other hand, we could have scored a few goals, but we conceded a lot of easy goals.

“As a team, we have to have great spirit and be compact all the time. If someone goes pressing, someone else stays all the time, and the opposite cannot work like that, and we got punished for that today."
