West Ham boss David Moyes has spoken out after his side's stirring 3-2 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
The Hammers got off to the dream start in the third minute, with Lucas Paqueta finding the net.
However, Forest equalised through Taiwo Awoniyi before going ahead through Anthony Elanga.
Jarrod Bowen scored an equaliser for West Ham just mere minutes later, however, to spark wild celebrations around the London Stadium.

And West Ham won the match in the closing stages, with Tomas Soucek nodding home following a pinpoint delivery from James Ward-Prowse.
Ward-Prowse has dazzled since arriving from Southampton back in the summer.
Yet Moyes thinks he'll be annoyed he doesn't have more assists for the club, having clocked up 10 so far.
"If I was him, I’d probably be a bit annoyed the lads haven’t scored more from my deliveries," he joked.
"He’s on 10 but he could be on 12, 13 or even 14.
"But I’m really pleased with him. His deliveries are world-class and today we’ve done enough to get the goals."
Moyes also hailed his side for securing all three points, though admitted they played their best football after Forest went ahead.
"It’s been a really tough period for us since the last set of internationals, so to win today and to also win in midweek in Europe against Olympiacos, we’ve finished this period off really well," he added.
"We hadn’t played well enough in the first half. We weren’t quick enough.
"Was it a bit to do with a little carry over from Thursday? It could be, but also it could be Nottingham Forest leaving us on the ball a bit.
"I thought we played okay but we were that slow in the first half that I was bored myself watching it at times.
"Coming out for the second half, we wanted them to get much quicker with the ball, be faster, try and get more balls in behind and make more runs behind them.
"I thought we did that.
"Unfortunately we got done with a little bit of a sucker punch, went 2-1 down, but great credit to the lads because they picked themselves up and got the result."
"It’s really hard to win in the Premier League and it’s also really hard to win when you’re coming out of a European game. It really is.
"In between that, we also had a cup tie with Arsenal too and we won that one as well.
"We’re trying to win all the games that we can. Nobody can win all the games all the time, not even the big teams."
Moyes also says his West Ham stars have earned a rest with the international break now nigh.
"They deserve it. They’ve done well," continued the Scot.
"We’ve had some games where it hasn’t gone our way but that’s certainly not because of their attitude or the way they apply themselves.
