West Ham boss David Moyes was relieved after their 2-0 win against Everton.
Jarrod Bowen was the Hammers' hero, doubling his top-flight tally for the season with two well-taken first half goals, to lead the Club to a deserved victory over Frank Lampard's Toffees.
Moyes said, "I'm very proud of that victory.
"It felt like a bit of a pressurised game, which I thought in the main we handled pretty well. We passed the ball well and controlled periods in the first half.
"They did as well, and the two systems meant that whoever maybe had the ball would be better on it, and then what it was going to come down to was if somebody could score any goals.
"And as you well know, it's not been our forte of late, so for us to get a couple of goals today was great and it changed the whole feeling and we could defend and hang in there if we had to, because we got ourselves in front.

"I wanted to try and get Jarrod and Micky further forward and inside so that we could try and get some goals.
"I thought, if we played with a couple of wing-backs, maybe it would get us better crosses in the box, maybe higher up [the pitch].
"In truth, it's not been a problem, creating or making opportunities. I think the bigger problem has been not finishing them off. So today, the biggest difference was Jarrod got on the end to two balls. And let's be fair, I think in the second half, and I'd need to see them again, I think we probably had two or three other big opportunities to finish the game off.
"I'm really hoping that it gives Jarred the confidence which he requires because he's been as off-form with his goals as anybody.
"And obviously, there's a boy who's made big strides in the last few years with his step up and how we all perceive him, so for him to get two goals today will do his confidence the world of good.
"And let's be fair, he was very close a couple of times to getting a hat-trick today."
