West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard was delighted to prove the matchwinner for victory over Tottenham on Sunday.

Lingard, on-loan from Manchester United, struck the decisive goal for the 2-1 triumph.

He later said, "A brilliant win. The lads are buzzing. We grafted. Luck was on our side today.

"It was just about maintaining the same intensity in the second half. We knew it would be a graft, that is what as a team we are about, working hard for the three points.

"It is brilliant, the lads have taken to me. I have settled in really quickly. I am playing each game with a smile and enjoying my football and that is the most important thing.

"Everyone has the same mindset and goal for the end of the season and the same targets. We don't look at the table too much and will take it game by game but this is an enjoyable position to be in."
