West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek admits there was some relief with their win against Watford this week.
The Czech Republic midfielder believes it can serve as springboard for another successful year, which kicks-off with a Premier League derby at Crystal Palace on New Year's Day.
“It was a big relief because I think after we beat Chelsea, it was four or five games we couldn't win," Souček told the club's website. “We sometimes played well and sometimes bad, but I'm happy we won at Watford and to score four goals in an away game is a big achievement. Now we need to be ready for the next game.
“We need to keep going and keep pushing. This game and the three points were really important for us, for our confidence and for our spirit, as another loss could have been crucial for us.
“I am really looking forward to the next game. It was really hard playing again just one day after Boxing Day, but I love it and I look forward to next year and hope we can start it with a win as this is the best way and we want to do it."
