Alex Song was delighted with a winning West Ham United debut in victory over Liverpool.
Song was a key figure in the Hammers' midfield as Sam Allardyce's men produced an opening period of domination over their illustrious opponents, before digging in after the break to protect their advantage.
"It was fantastic for my home debut," he told whufc.com. "I think the team showed very good character out there on Saturday.
"It was a very good game for the fans too, they were behind us and it was important to win this game against a big team at home.
"Everyone gave their best - we're all very happy and now we have to look forward to the next game against Manchester United.
"You can see that we've had some good players come in. We need to work together and when we've had a couple of games and get to know each other well I think you'll see a very good side.
"It's a pleasure for me to be in this team. We have to keep pushing the way we played against Liverpool, because we showed what we can achieve this season."
