Moyes delighted with 'massive' West Ham win against Freiburg

West Ham boss David Moyes was left delighted with victory over SC Freiburg.

The 2-0 win, via goals from Mohammed Kudus and Edson Alvarez, saw West Ham finish as their Europa League group winners.

Moyes said: "It is really massive at the moment because of the amount of games we've got and the scheduling - it's so important for the players and the staff.

"We're going into a really busy period and our culture means we play a lot of games at Christmas.

"But it seems they are squeezing in other games where they can and which seems a bit ridiculous to be honest."

On Alvarez scoring, he continued: "He had a bit of illness and has not been quite on it fully, so we were always going to take him off.

"He also got a dead leg tonight and need to see how that is. But he scored a really good goal, a well-worked move and a good combination with Jarrod Bowen.

"It has started well and the longer we will be together it will work much better.

"We're still introducing players who are new to the league and new to playing with us. I think they've done well.

"We're not halfway through the season and they've made massive contributions."
