Jesse Lingard has revealed he played through a massive headache scoring two goals to take his West Ham tally to eight.

The Manchester United loanee was seen on Sky Sports cameras taking some unknown tablets at the side of the pitch from the medical team.

Jesse swallowed them with some water and carried on playing regardless with TV commentators suggesting he might have a stomach complaint.

Lingard told Sky Sports post-match he was suffering from a little headache, nothing too bad and the tablets were just pain killers.

Lingard is top of the Premier League for the most combined goals and assists on eleven more than Harry Kane.

The feat of eight goals and three assists made even more remarkable when you factor that Jess has achieved this in just nine games playing for the Hammers.

Certainly, he is the player who has created the most impact to a West Ham team since Dimitri Payet joined the Hammers for 18 months.
