West Ham United manager David Moyes had many reasons to be smiling on Sunday.
The veteran coach saw his Europa Conference League winners beat Chelsea in the Premier League.
Despite having ten men for nearly 30 minutes of play in the second half, Moyes' team won 3-1 against the Blues at home.
Post-game, he told club media: Unfortunately the run is that, before the international break, we'd have three away games and one home game. This was the one home game, against Chelsea, who I've seen in pre-season and went to watch last week at Liverpool, and they were so, so good. So for us to get a result today was incredible.
He added on new signing James Ward-Prowse: We want midfielders who look to make assists and score. We've got him in now and he's already made a difference with his set-piece quality today. I'm really pleased for him. He's settled in well and he looks a really good lad for our dressing room."
Asked about going down to ten men, he added: I'm thrilled with how we hung in after going down to ten men.
I don't think Nayef [Aguerd] should have gone to ground and made that second tackle after being booked, but I think we're going to see a lot of cards this season.
Last year, I can't remember us having a red card, but I think we're going to see more people sent off this season. It will certainly make things a lot harder.
We had to sit in and defend the box, which we did brilliantly well in the second half. I've got to say I'm also pleased with a couple of the counter-attacks we had, particularly the one that led to the penalty. It was good to see."
