Andre Ayew insists West Ham are continuing to improve under David Moyes and has urged his side to learn from Tuesday's narrow Carabao Cup defeat at Arsenal.

The Gunners ran out 1-0 winners courtesy of a Danny Welbeck goal as Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger made 11 changes to his side. Moyes made six alterations of his own as the Hammers went down to their first defeat in four games.

"I think we have players who have the desire, players who want to run and play for the club," he told whufc.com. "We are getting better and better. We lose 1-0 at the Emirates, with young lads also playing, it's good for them, it's good for the club, for the future.

"We're going to use this game to become better and work and be better for Saturday because that's what's important at the moment. I'm disappointed because I'm a competitor and I always want to go further, but we can learn from this and become a better squad and hopefully get good results before the end of the year."


THE Carabao Cup (formerly known as the League Cup) is reaching the closing streach.

Matches in the domestic cup competition are SINGLE-LEGGED up to the semi-finals, meaning that the tie goes to extra-time and then penalties if the score is still drawn after 90 mins.

Do Carabao Cup ties go to extra-time and penalties?

Yes.

If the match is drawn after 90 minutes the tie will go to extra-time and then penalties.

League Cup fixtures are decided over a single match in every round apart from the semi-finals.

The final was two-legged from 1961 to 1966, but has been single-legged ever since.

Will the Carabao Cup use ABBA penalties this season?

Yes they will.

This season, there will also be the addition of ABBA penalties for drawn ties if it goes past extra-time.

What is the ABBA penalty shootout?

Uefa and Fifa are examining a new ABBA system, as an alternative to the current ABAB.

That basically means the order of penalties taken in a shootout will be similar to the serve in a tennis tie-break.

So, rather than one team taking first and the other following, the idea is that one team takes a penalty, followed by the opposition taking two penalties.

Each team then alternates in taking two penalties until a result is achieved.

The idea behind the change is to take away the unfair disadvantage the team that takes the second penalty supposedly has when they have to kick to stay in the game.

Which competitions will the system be used this season?

The EFL announced that ABBA penalties will be trialled across all its competitions.

That means that the League Cup and Checkatrade Trophy will both be using the system.

And ABBA penalties could also decide which teams get promoted as they will be used in the EFL playoffs.

The Community Shield tie between Arsenal and Chelsea was of course won by the Gunners on the new ABBA-style pens.
