// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola has hailed his side's 'massive' win over Aston Villa in the Premier League.[LNB] Substitute Zavon Hines scored the winner for the Hammers in injury time after Mark Noble had given them the lead with a penalty before Ashley Young equalised with a cross that looped all the way over Robert Green.[LNB]Zola was delighted with the win, despite Carlton Cole and Herita Ilunga both coming off with hamstring injuries, and praised the spirit in his team to fight until the end.[LNB]"I'm delighted for the team because they've been through a difficult moment and today was difficult," he told Sky Sports.[LNB]"We started the game very well and losing two players like Ilunga and Cole would have been a big blow for everybody but we reacted and we came up with a victory which in my opinion was well deserved.[LNB]"Their goal was an unbelievable goal, we weren't expecting that. But we believed until the end, we fought until the end and that was the reward we got.[LNB]"I think its massive because there have been games where we have been playing well and not getting results so three points will give the boys a lot of confidence and that's what we need right now.[LNB]Pressure"The pressure will be there, it's just up to us to keep it apart from us."[LNB]Zola also praised young forward Hines, who came on for the injured Cole, who wriggled free in the penalty area and finished coolly to give West Ham the win at Upton Park.[LNB]"He is doing very well," he added. "The boy is determined to impress and not only today, he always plays very well.[LNB]"Today obviously he gave us the three points and we all delighted for him and for ourselves.[LNB]"He has been important anyway, even when we don't play him from the beginning. Every time we kick him on he has done very well and that's what he has to keep doing.[LNB]"At the moment he is still learning and he has to keep that attitude. He has to be willing to keep learning and when he comes on he has to do what he has done today - if he does that he's got a very good future ahead of him."[LNB]
