West Ham captain Noble hails Norwich win: We're playing extremely well

Mark Noble was mightily impressed with West Ham United's performance in the 2-0 win over Norwich City on Saturday.

Sebastian Haller and Andriy Yarmalenko were both on target for the Hammers to secure a home victory in their quest for a finish in the European places.

"It should have been a bigger scoreline," Noble said. "Obviously I'm pleased with the 2-0 result and the way that we played, but I've come away thinking we should have won by more.

"The last two [Premier League] games we've played extremely well, especially going forward, but I said to the players in the week that we were really good in attack at Watford but we left ourselves open at times.

"I didn't like that, but today we were solid. We really limited them to a couple of half chances and we should have scored six or seven ourselves.

"The whole back four was brilliant to keep Pukki quiet because he's such a good goalscorer, but the aggression we played with, the pace, was brilliant. For me it was the best we've played for a long time."
