West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek was delighted to prove the matchwinner in victory over Fulham'.

The Czech Republic midfielder felt his side merited their victory for the work they put in over the 90 minutes, even if it came with a slice of good fortune at the end.

"It was big drama," the No28 said. "It was hard throughout the game, but we had to win and we tried to get ahead for all the 90 minutes and then Lukasz saved it for us in the last second.

"I am very happy with the goal - I've had many chances so far this season, and I scored the goal against Wolves which they made an own goal, so finally I've scored a normal goal for the team.

"It's a winning goal too, so I'm very happy and proud of the squad for how we played.

"To be honest I was scared because the referee had to check the goal [for a potential offside in the build-up], but it's nice that we got the three points.

"We had a really hard schedule and we played well against the big six. Now we wanted the three points against Fulham to move up the table. It's an international break now and we'll be happy in the changing room to win before the break."
