Mo Diame has revealed he was looking forward to locking horns with West Ham last night.
The powerful midfielder exited the Hammers in the summer transfer window, switching to Steve Bruce's Hull City in a move which left a bitter taste in the mouths of a number of West Ham fans.
And last night at the KC Stadium, Diame returned to haunt his former club by scoring Hull's second in a 2-2 draw, something he was quick to reveal he had dreamt about doing.
The midfielder dubbed the clash tough, but also expressed his pleasure at having been able to lock horns with Sam Allardyce's men.
"I enjoyed my debut very much", he told his club's site.

"We wanted to win the game but in the end it was a draw and West Ham played very well.
"It was strange playing against my old team and colleagues, but it is something that I had been looking forward to while I was away on international duty.
"I was dreaming on Sunday night that I would score two, but in the end it was just one. But it was still a very special moment."
The 27-year-old joined West Ham in 2012 after impressing at Wigan Athletic.
Diame is a product of the prestigious Clairefontaine youth academy.
