'It’s another away win in Europe - and I’ll take that'

Speaking after West Ham secured their place in the Europa League knockout stage with victory over Serbian side Backa Topola, David Moyes said: "To me, it looked as if it would be 0-0 and we weren’t going to score because we weren’t creative enough and we didn’t do enough.

"We got there in the end. It’s another away win in Europe in the bag and I’ll take that and go back home with it."

On squad rotation, he added: "We wanted to give players who haven’t played chances to play. We did that at Olympiacos and we’ve done it tonight, because I want to keep the squad together and keep them fit.

"We’re going into a really busy period and I’m going to need some of them to play at different times, so it gives me a chance to see how they are and how they’re performing.

"Some of them are going to have to step up and play better, and we know that. It’s a bit easier to be critical when we win than when we lose and we need to play better than we did.

"We had some good moments at times, but we never really punctured or threatened them and got our centre-forwards in positions to score, so that’s a disappointment."
