West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini was happy with his goalscorers for victory at Watford.

Mark Noble's early penalty and Sebastien Haller's first two goals for the Hammers secured a thrilling win at Vicarage Road in a thoroughly entertaining match filled with chances for both sides.

Pellegrini said, “Mark is a very important player for us. Unfortunately for him, he had that calf injury and he needed three weeks to work. He returned and my first idea was not for us to play 90 minutes with him. I was asking him and he was telling me that he was okay.

“It was two very important goals for Haller too. It's not easy when you come from another league and you start working here and playing here. It's different between the leagues.

“He had just one start in the Premier League; a difficult game against Manchester City, and then he had a problem with his knee. He returned today because he worked during the whole week and I saw he was in perfect shape. For a striker, the most important thing is to score."
