“It was a good display for the whole game. Obviously to beat Chelsea as well was great. Everyone who came in did their jobs and it was a good win, and a good game for the neutral as well. Everybody’s happy.”
“You expect to be busy in these games [as a keeper]. Thankfully I was in the right place at the right time to make the first save [against Kante] and we went up the other end and scored. It’s just nice to perform when I do get the chance to play.”
The keeper also pointed to the Stadium’s atmosphere as a benefit to the team’s performance, revealing it helped the Hammers push on to grab a second having taken the lead.
“The atmosphere was ridiculously loud and then we scored the second goal and it’s what you want to experience every week. It’s not a cup game against Chelsea every week but if the atmosphere is like that every time, it’s a horrible place for the other teams to come to.
“It was a great ball in for Cheikhou’s goal and a great finish. We kept things tight and didn’t take our foot off the gas and pushed on again.
“Fernandes makes things look easy. He’s the same in training. We’ve got people who are ready to come into the team and do a job and it’s great when you have that.”
