West Ham boss David Moyes was proud of the club after victory over Everton.
The match was the first since the passing of co-owner David Gold.
Moyes said: "The way respects were paid to David Gold are what football is all about.
"I think that we've all probably, whether you're a supporter, a player or a manager, I think we'll all have been through a period of grief as there has been many people connected to everybody who passed away in the last few years.
"For us, losing David Gold was a huge blow. I have to say I thought the crowd were brilliant for him today and paid their respects.
"And I have to say, from that sometimes comes new relationships and I'm getting to know his two daughters and I'm getting to know his son in law, who are all part of the Board and the club, so I hope that I'm able to build a relationship with them in the future."
