West Ham boss Moyes delighted with victory at Arsenal: An unbelievable year

West Ham boss David Moyes was delighted with his players for their win at Arsenal.

The Irons won 2-0 via goals from Tomas Soucek and Dino Mavropanos.

Moyes said: "Football is played in many ways and tonight we did the part that maybe isn't talked about as much. Brilliant defending. We did a good job on Arsenal tonight. They had lots of the ball, too much for my liking, but we did a great job.

"We have had an unbelievable year at West Ham. After the World Cup, we got better and we sold one of our best players to Arsenal. We've continued it., and we got a trophy too.

"Probably all managers live or die by recruitment. If you don't get recruitment right you struggle. I think the new players have been so great. Great credit to the players for what they have done in a year. Great job really.

"We are not one of the top teams. We are trying to get up and grow the team. For West Ham to be in Europe is a great period."

On his future, he added: "We are getting ready to talk. I don't think any of us are getting it done too quickly. I don't see any problems with that."
