Wst Ham boss David Moyes was delighted after Friday night's victory at Luton.
Hosting a first ever Premier League game at Kenilworth Road, Luton lost 2-1, with Jarrod Bowen and Kurt Zouma on target for the visitors before Mads Anderson's consolation goal.
Moyes said: "[It was] good. Good against a tough team who are going to put teams under a lot of pressure. Overall I think we did a brilliant job tonight.
"It's incredibly satisfying. I have got to say I am happy with the results [at the start of the season].
"I think for any team you want to get a good start to the season. It makes things a lot easier and gives players more confidence.
"I thought the two centre-halves did a great job. There were times we could have dealt with things better but the whole team [were great]. Edson [Alvarez] and James Ward-Prowse were great in midfield tonight. We deserved to be in front in the second half, but it was never over and was always going to be a job that if you didn't concentrate until the end, it could change.
"Our players showed that character that they could come here. The crowd were intimidating but through your career you play in grounds like this."
Moyes added: "It's not easy to come here and we were under loads of pressure. Thankfully we stood up to it, got a couple of goals and played pretty well ourselves.
"We created better opportunities in the second half, Luton didn't disappoint us or their supporters. Kurt Zouma is a big personality, he's a World Cup winner so he has the right to captain any team.
"Lucas Paqueta is getting better all the time. He's got brilliant ability and we needed him today."
