Moyes hopeful West Ham United can be ‘back in Europe’

West Ham boss Moyes

David Moyes is targeting a return to Europe after West Ham United smashed four goals past Norwich City at Carrow Road on Sunday afternoon.

The Hammers went into this weekend’s game after being knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday by Eintracht Frankfurt.

West Ham were helped by Tim Krul, who had a torrid afternoon in Norwich City’s goal.

Manchester United’s 4-0 defeat at Brighton has left the door open for West Ham to snatch sixth place and qualify for the Europa League again next season.

Thanks to Norwich’s generosity they are now three points behind United, with a game in hand and a superior goal difference.

Moyes said: “I think considering all the things that happened in midweek and how our emotions were, it was a really good result.

“I thought the team started very well and gave us a decent platform to go and work from.

“To say Thursday was a big blow wouldn’t do it justice, how we feel. So to get us back today with that result was great credit to the players.

“We could’ve played better, could’ve scored more goals. But we got the job done and got three good points.

“Let’s be fair, we’ve got Manchester City and Brighton to play, and Brighton have just beaten Manchester United, so that’s why I thought today was really important.

“But we’re back in it, back in there fighting and trying to be sixth or seventh with a bit of luck, and hopefully we can be back in Europe.”

Krul was badly at fault for goals from Said Benrahma and Michail Antonio to leave his side 2-0 down after half an hour.

West Ham were three up by half-time thanks to Benrahma’s second, and Manuel Lanzini added the fourth from the penalty spot after handball by Jacob Sorensen.
