West Ham boss Moyes hails matchwinner Soucek for victory at Burnley

West Ham boss David Moyes praised matchwinner Tomas Soucek after victory at Burnley.

Soucek struck in injury time for the 2-1 win.

Moyes said: "Tomáš has done great.

"It's difficult because we're trying to get the right blend in the team and the right players in, but we're also trying to get the players who are in form in the team and Tomáš is certainly in form.

"He has six goals this season already, so that alone is a really good starting point and I thought when he got the chance today he took it like someone who is in a confident mode of scoring.

"He's doing great. In his first season he got us about ten goals and if he could match that it would be fabulous.

"What I can do is show the players we didn't play well today, but at the end of it we got a good win.

"Any win away from home in then Premier League [is great], and for us we've found wins hard to come by, but we found a way of getting through it today.

"We gave away a soft penalty that on another day might not have been given, but anyway, we should resilience and stuck at it and we'll go back smiling.

"We're top of the league in Europe and we've got another game in midweek and we have a League Cup quarter-final coming up, so we've got a lot of things to look forward to."
