West Ham boss Moyes hails Ogbonna, Dawson for victory over Burnley

West Ham boss David Moyes feels they're proving how much they've progressed after victory at Burnley.

Michail Antonio struck an early winner for the Irons.

Moyes remarked: "There's so much more that we can do, and that we'd like to do, and hopefully we can show it.

"It needs time and there will be periods when it's not going so well. There'll be periods when it is, but we're certainly not settling for where we are. We're already told the players to get their heads on Tuesday night because we need another good performance.

"It was well-earned and hard-earned for the result today, because we needed some players to step up really well.

"Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson both played very, very well today."

He added: "You always have a chance of picking up a point if you don't concede a goal, and that was very good.

"The disappointing thing today was that the creative players didn't play well enough to give us an edge and get us a second or third goal, but I do think that there are games where the defenders have to stand up and be counted and today was one of them."
