New West Ham United striker Danny Ings hailed the manner of victory over Everton on Saturday.

The striker was introduced from the substitutes' bench with 20 minutes to play at London Stadium, just over 24 hours after completing his transfer from Aston Villa, and helped the Hammers record a welcome first win in eight top-flight matches.

“It was good," Ings told whufc.com. “I came on when we were defending the lead and I came on to work hard for the team and try and win free-kicks when the pressure was on. We knew that second half, they were going to come after us and we knew we'd have to suffer a little bit, but I thought we worked hard as a team and got over the line. To go out and execute like that, I thought was fantastic, and to stick it out the end like that, I thought was amazing as well."

“Goals are my main quality, of course, as I'm a striker and that's why I pride my work on, but days like today, when you're coming on to a game where you've already got a lead, it's a different side of the game or a little bit deeper overall to try and help the team as much as I can and help with my experience in this league.

"Of course, when a team with this much quality in the dressing room is in and around where we are, it's surprising for everybody so to come into the environment, I have to say from the moment I came in, I can see the atmosphere and there is a real great culture within the Club and it's a pleasure to be part of.

“It's a massive Club. The last two seasons, finishing in the European spots was huge. And you just look at the squad and see the talent in the building, it was an opportunity I couldn't say 'no' to."
