Kevin Nolan believes that West Ham United fully deserve their place in the final of the Championship playoffs.

The Hammers booked their Wembley date against either Blackpool or Birmingham City courtesy of a 5-0 aggregate win over Cardiff City this evening.

Reflecting on the two legs, Nolan has insisted that Cardiff can over no complaints over the outcome.

"Winning 2-0 away was a great platform for us but we knew the tie wasn't finished," the captain told Sky Sports News. "I thought over the ties Cardiff cannot have any qualms, we were the better side.

"We're looking forward to a good day out."

Nolan opened the scoring at Upton earlier today.
