Chris Hughton: “It’s been a tough week and that was a big win.

“My position is completely different but I’m delighted for this group of lads.

“It’s a very spirit group of players and staff that we’ve got. Whenever they have been questioned they have generally come up trumps.

“It’s difficult to single out anyone because it was a good team performance.

“West Ham is not an easy place to come and when the team sheets go up, you see the quality that they have.

“Our centre-halves were tested early on but when they settled into a rhythm they did well. It was just excellent all round.

"Cheik Tiote was excellent. Cheik is a quiet lad but he’s settled in very well.

“He just goes about his business, there’s no thrills about his game but he goes about his business very well.

“What we need to do now is address our home form. Our away form is good but we now need to apply that at home as well.

“It didn’t matter who scored really but I can see the headlines now!

"What we have in Kevin Nolan is someone who will always pop up with a goal, he’s been consistent in that.

“Andy Carroll was just in the right place – but I would have fancied anyone to score it with that kind of delivery.”
