West Ham boss Bilic: We beat Liverpool in style

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic says they thoroughly deserved their 3-0 win at Liverpool.

Bilic felt they dominated the game.

“We didn't nick it, we did it in style. They had their moments, but very few, because we were very mature and we did exactly what our plan was for 90 per cent of the time. All credit to the players because you can have a plan, but it's up to the players to do it on the pitch and they did it today," Bilic told whufc.com.

“When were defending, we were behind the ball really well and what was good, like against Arsenal, we players we needed to attack and which players we didn't want to have the ball."

He added: “You can't come to Anfield and do it in style with only two or three players. The defence, midfield, goalkeeper and three up front were great, but Manuel and Dimitri did good defensive work and when we had the ball, the two of them and Diafra were very dangerous almost every time.

“They were not just giving our defence a breather, they were penetrating and I was very pleased with them."
