Former West Ham midfielder Don Hutchison says manager Slaven Bilic was delighted with victory at Crystal Palace.

Hutchison wrote for whufc.com: "I have spoken to Slaven and he has always maintained that wanted to get his best players fully fit again and then you will see a difference.

"I think we all started to see that on Saturday with Cresswell back in the team and both Payet and Lanzini getting back to full fitness.

"It was totally unfair on Slaven and the players that people have been jumping on the bandwagon and criticising the bad start to the season.

"I can tell everyone it has absolutely nothing to do with the move into London Stadium.

"I am sure the West Ham fans would have showed their disapproval if the team had suffered a similar run of form playing at the Boleyn Ground this season.

"Having played in front of the West Ham fans I know the passion they can have for the team and this is a fantastic opportunity to perform in a wonderful Stadium."
