West Ham boss David Moyes was delighted after victory over Wolves.

The Irons 3-0 via goals from Mohammed Kudus (2) and Jarrod Bowen.

Moyes said: "It was a great first half performance. especially in the way we got after Wolves early.

"We've not often been able to do it after Thursday night games, which is something we've talked about a bit, and I thought we were more aggressive with everything we did in the first part of the game. It led to a couple of really good goals.

The quality of finishing was class. There were not easy chances, they were really difficult finishes and they were brilliantly done by Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.

"There were not easy chances, they were really difficult finishes and they were brilliantly done by Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen. Lucas Paquet got three assists today as well. The players we put in to give us the attacking threat really performed today.

"I can't take the credit for the homework done by our analysts [that Kudus had been told to aim inside the near post when cutting inside and shooting].

"We are always looking for things that might help us and we thought shooting at the near post might give us a chance. We got two really good shots of from Mo, and Jarrod's was a really good finish as well. The forward boys today produced.

"It's great that the players are all flexible, willing to try different things, and we're getting good wins.

"Late on in the game, Jarrod scored his goal today off the right wing. We put Paquet in at centre-forward and Mo in behind him, and we wanted to see if we could try something different. We'd lost a little bit of impetus in the game and Wolves played much better in the second half.

"We had a clean sheet in midweek and we got a clean-sheet today.

"It was a little rocky for a while, 20 minutes in the second half, but we got through it and did okay.

"We have to keep knocking at the door. I genuinely think that we can get better. I think we can get better defensively. I think we're beginning to show that we've got an attacking outlet. We're slightly different at the moment and we're experiencing a bit of a changing of the guard in some places. But we're getting goals from all areas."
