West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini couldn't fault his players after their 3-1 defeat at Arsenal.

The Irons are yet to pick up a point this season.

“Arsenal won 3-1, but if you analyse the game we had many opportunities to score a goal before," Pellegrini said. “We were very unlucky with the own-goal that put Arsenal on top, and the last goal was in the last minute when we are trying to get back in the game.

“I'm very happy about how we played. The team, in the current way, created a lot of chances. We played well, with good pace and good movement. I'm sure a victory will come."

The Chilean feels that his team is improving on a weekly basis, and can see the positives in West Ham's performance.

He continued: “I'm happy with the team. I think the team played well and I think we were a team that defended well. Okay, Arsenal scored three goals at the end, but they didn't create many chances, so I'm happy that we've improved as a team and we're improving every week.

“I think, from the game today, fans will see we are on our way."
