West Ham manager David Moyes has reacted to West Ham’s 3-1 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.

Moyes said: “Unfortunately the run is that, before the international break, we’d have three away games and one home game.

“This was the one home game, against Chelsea, who I’ve seen in pre-season and went to watch last week at Liverpool, and they were so, so good. So for us to get a result today was incredible.”

Asked about going down to ten men against Chelsea, Moyes added: “I’m thrilled with how we hung in after going down to ten men.

“I don’t think Nayef [Aguerd] should have gone to ground and made that second tackle after being booked, but I think we’re going to see a lot of cards this season.

“Last year, I can’t remember us having a red card, but I think we’re going to see more people sent off this season. It will certainly make things a lot harder.

“We had to sit in and defend the box, which we did brilliantly well in the second half. I’ve got to say I’m also pleased with a couple of the counter-attacks we had, particularly the one that led to the penalty. It was good to see.”
