West Ham United striker Ricardo Vaz Te has praised the "togetherness" of the team after the Hammers secured promotion to the Premier League.

The Portuguese striker scored in the final moments to secure the win, to send West Ham to where he believes that they "deserve" to be.

"It wasn't about my goal. It was about the togetherness of the team. I think we deserve to be back in the Premier League. West Ham are a Premier League side and we are going to give it our best," Vaz Te told Sky Sports News.

"I started the season at Barnsley and I feel like I have been blessed with a second chance in my career. West Ham is a massive club."

Vaz Te joined West Ham from Barnsley in January.
