Hammers can push for title, says Carroll

Andy Carroll insists there is nothing to stop West Ham challenging for the Premier League title this season.

The 25-year-old scored his first goals of the campaign on Sunday as his brace helped the Hammers record a 3-1 win over 10-man Swansea and move up to third in the table for over 24 hours.

Sam Allardyce’s side remain in the top four after 15 games, having won eight of their opening fixtures — as Carroll struck twice and Diafra Sakho scored late to see off the Swans, who had taken the lead through Wilfried Bony.
