West Ham United winger Stewart Downing was delighted with his goal in victory over Tottenham.
The 29-year-old curled an inch-perfect free-kick through Tottenham's fragmented wall to double the Hammers' advantage on the stroke of half-time.
He told West Ham TV: "I left it late but I think it was a good time to score. Not only personally, but for the team, the way we were playing we needed to get off to a good start. We got the early goal and the 'keeper made some unbelievable saves. I thought it could have been more.
"It was a really good day and the atmosphere was unbelievable. We played some great football. We have to take that into next season, performances like that, on the front foot, pressing teams. Spurs have got some unbelievable players and on Saturday we pressed them and they made a lot of mistakes. That's got to be the platform."
