Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson admits they were relieved to overcome West Ham on Saturday.
Sadio Mane struck the winner in the first-half.
Henderson said, “It was always going to be a tough game. West Ham are a good team and made life difficult.
“We were prepared for that. It was tough but I'm pleased with the way we reacted.
“We got a clean sheet, which is important and got the three points which is the main thing.
Lanzini had great chance, but we had chances as well in first half. So there were chances at both ends. We dominated the ball for large parts and towards the end we had to grind it out."
On Luis Diaz's performance, he added: “He's hit the ground running. He's been fantastic. He was immense in the [Carabao Cup] final and again today brilliant.
"He's fit straight in, pressing and winning the ball high up the pitch."
