Moyes: West Ham fight-back reward for attitude and spirit

West Ham United boss David Moyes says their 3-3 draw with Tottenham was victory for the players' attitude and spirit.

Moyes feels his team's attitude is shining through in their recent results, and he is sure there is more to come from the side.

"The boys are at it. I see it every day in training, and they're improving all the time," he added.

"We felt really good before we went into the opening day of the season. We didn't play well in that opening game, but we do have big belief, we really have.

"We think we've improved, we think the new players who have come in have made a difference.

"Overall, I can only praise them. It was a really proud moment to manage West Ham tonight, because 3-0 down today with ten minutes to go and come back shows that the players are at it and committed."

Moyes also reserved special praise for goalscorer Manuel Lanzini, who has had to battle back from serious injury and wait patiently for his opportunity.

"The first time I came here he was terrific for us," he explained. "It's been hard, he's had to fight for his place because the form of our players has been really good. That's shown by our results.

"We've brought people on to help us and I've said to them in the dressing room that they're all going to be needed, some will be off the bench, some will be starters, but we've got a good team spirit as well and we want to build on that."
