West Ham captain Mark Noble hailed the manner of their victory at Crystal Palace.
Manuel Lanzini scored the only goal at Selhurst Park as West Ham claimed their first Premier League win since August with the visitors spending the final 15 minutes defending their lead with just 10 men after Aaron Cresswell received two controversial yellow cards in the space of a minute.
“I thought we were tremendous," Noble said. “They've got big players like Connor Wickham and Christian Benteke up front, but I thought our defence did a magnificent job, they dealt with them incredibly, it's a top, top win for us.
“I said in an interview the other day that everyone here really does care, and I think we showed that. We looked at how Palace play and everything goes through Benteke so we knew we had to deal with that threat. Cheik [Cheikhou Kouyate] is great in the air, then alongside Reidy [Winston Reid] and Angelo [Ogbonna], obviously Cress [Aaron Cresswell] back in the side, we played like a proper team."
