West Ham boss Moyes 'thrilled' with Newcastle draw

West Ham boss David Moyes admits he was happy with their 2-2 draw with Newcastle.

Mohammed Kudus rescued the point with a late equaliser for the Irons.

Moyes later said: "Thrilled with a point, up against a really good team who are probably as good as most teams in Europe at the moment. Great point for us.

"I don't think it is a free-kick [for Newcastle's first goal]. I'm really disappointed with a few decisions today. The two goals we concede are terrible, so they are bigger faults. We are not here to talk about the referees but their player [Bruno Guimaraes] is very lucky not see a second yellow.

"We nearly won it in the end. Newcastle played well and we didn't give them too many opportunities. We had a few ourselves. For us I'm pleased that we got a point here."

On whether goal scorer Kudus will start more games, Moyes added: "He will be in the team for years to come so we are not in a huge hurry. The team is getting good results, but he can play a big role in the future."
