Moyes 'thrilled' with West Ham draw against Brighton

West Ham boss David Moyes was delighted after their stalemate with Brighton.

Tuesday night's clash finished 0-0 in London.

Moyes said: "I'm thrilled with the result and to get the point. I thought Brighton played very well and were the better team.

"They had a few chances and their goalkeeper made some good saves. I think we might have had the best chance of the game with Tomas Soucek but when it didn't go in, I said to myself 'we probably need to fight our way to a 0-0' and the players did a great job in getting that.

"When you are playing really good teams, which we have been especially in this Christmas period, we've had to be really compact defensively and as organised as we can be.

"Tonight we lacked the quality that might make the difference at the other end of the pitch when we have the ball. But we are playing with two centre-halves who haven't played that much recently and a full-back who is the same. I thought the boys at the back have done a brilliant job. They have done what they had to do and my goalkeeper played very well. We got a point from it."
