West Ham boss Moyes: You have to respect Wenger

West Ham United manager David Moyes has admitted he admires Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners boss has been in charge of the north London club for over 20 years.

"If you talk about Arsenal, they're a really good football team with excellent players in their side, but we need to find a way of getting a result. That's what we have to do here at West Ham," said Moyes.

"We're in a run of really difficult games. We picked up three vital points on Saturday and we're aware of Arsenal's qualities and, if we can score another early goal, we'll be thrilled.

"Arsene Wenger has had great longevity and his energy to keep doing the job in a really difficult time for football coaches to be in a job so long, he's done a brilliant job at Arsenal over the years and I respect him for the work he does.

"I want to beat his Arsenal teams every time I play them but I have to admire anybody who can put that amount of effort and energy into one club."
