West Ham boss David Moyes was delighted with their 2-0 win against Manchester United today.

The Hammers won via goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.

Moyes said: "Thirty points for us at this point of the season is really top.

"We've had a great start to the season. We did a good job today we played two days ago and came back with a real disappointment, but we got players ready. We had some fresh to play, thank goodness we did, and we showed it in the second half.

"Any win in the Premier League is really hard. We've got nine wins now and that's a great total for us. We'll try to kick on and hang in with the boys at the top, but it's really difficult with what a lot of these clubs have got. But a great result today.

"I hope all the supporters enjoyed today and enjoy a couple of drinks tonight.

"We had to grind it out.

"There will be games, when you ask the players to play so many, that you won't get full excitement and great entertainment.

"We didn't mean to come and sit off them. They passed the ball out from the back quite well and sent us back.

"We didn't quite work it out [before half-time], but we got much better in the second half. The players are also still trying to think how they're going to get through 90 minutes of the game right at the start, so there is a little bit of that after playing just two days ago.

"But hey, we did the job against Manchester United who for most of the season have been up around the top six or seven. It's an opponent who if we can beat it's a great result for us."
