“Excellent win, the players have done a great job, We are becoming more of a Team” – David Moyes names the one problem West Ham have this season that has been solved this week after flawless 4-0 win over B/Mouth

David Moyes lauded West Ham’s excellent week after they backed up qualification for the Europa Conference League semi-finals with a 4-0 win at Bournemouth.

The Hammers travelled to the south coast on a high after an emphatic three-goal victory over Gent on Thursday kept them on course for a first trophy in 43 years.

It has been a different story domestically with West Ham largely battling to stay out of the Premier League relegation zone all season but they produced a clinical display at the Vitality Stadium to move up to 13th and six points clear of the bottom three.

Midweek goalscorers Michail Antonio, Lucas Paqueta and captain Declan Rice netted in the first half and substitute Pablo Fornals hit a brilliant fourth with a back-heeled effort late on to cap off a brilliant seven days for the club.

“It was an excellent win,” Moyes reflected.

“We got off to a great start and especially after the midweek game, it gave us a real lift.

“I though the players went into the game with a lot of confidence and self belief from reaching another semi-final and obviously we had a really good comeback against Arsenal.

“It has been an excellent week and I’ve got to say the players have done a great job, you can sense they are gaining a bit of confidence and we are looking a little bit more like ourselves in terms of scoring.

“We got four in midweek, we got four today and two before that so we are seeing signs we are becoming more of a team who can score which has been a problem for most of the season.”
