Carlton Cole: 'Wins more important than goals'

West Ham United striker Carlton Cole says that he does not care how many goals he scores if the team do not go on to seal the win.

Carlton Cole has said that scoring goals does not matter if West Ham United do not secure a win.

The striker put the Hammers ahead against Arsenal in their Boxing Day clash, but the Gunners went on to register a 3-1 victory.

The 30-year-old told the club's official website: "All I care about is winning. I don't look at those sort of stats I just want to win games.

"Whether I score or not it doesn't matter, I just want to win games. Today wasn't the day but the next time we go out on that field if I'm starting, I just want to win that game.

"Whether I'm starting or not I just want to contribute to us winning the game. At this level you need to put away the chances you get, even if it's a half chance. If you get the rub of the green and get that second goal that puts them to bed."

West Ham face West Bromwich Albion tomorrow.
