Hammers boss David Moyes spoke to reporters in the aftermath of his side’s superb 1-0 win over Chelsea, and praised the home fans for creating an atmosphere that helped his team win the game, as quoted by the club’s official website.
West Ham desperately needed all three points yesterday, and their victory took them level on points with 17th placed West Bromwich Albion.
The Scot will be delighted with not only the manner in which his players approached the game, but also with the part that the home crowd played in the match.

There have been questions raised over the sometimes toxic atmosphere at the London Stadium this season, but the Hammers faithful were in full voice yesterday, cheering their side on from the very first whistle until the last.
Moyes addressed the media after the game, and suggested that anyone who says there is a poor atmosphere at West Ham’s stadium is wrong, as quoted by WHUFC.com:
“For anybody to say there is not a good atmosphere here, they’re wrong. They’d have to be here today to see the great atmosphere inside the stadium. The supporters knew the game was on the edge. We were fighting to not concede and the crowd were great and they played a big part. They appreciated the effort the players are putting in, and if they’re putting that effort in, then supporters will cheer them. Ultimately, we want to play our football better, but it can only be one step at a time.”
Next up for the Hammers is a home game against Arsenal on Wednesday, and they will have every chance of turning Arsene Wenger’s men over if they display the same determination and conviction they showed against Chelsea yesterday.
