Slaven Bilic: 'West Ham United must build on first Premier League win'

Bilic: 'West Ham must build on first win'

West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic has urged his players to build on their victory against Huddersfield Town when they face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

The Hammers had endured a difficult start to the season, losing their first three Premier League games and reportedly leaving Bilic on the verge of dismissal.

However, they went on to clinch a 2-0 win from their home encounter with Huddersfield on Monday night, courtesy of second-half strikes from Pedro Obiang and Andre Ayew.

Bilic told Sky Sports News: "It [was] important for us to win the [Huddersfield] game. We have to continue like that. As I told the players this morning, because yesterday we were off, and we had a small meeting, we have to build on this.

"Ok, we beat Huddersfield. Not on Monday night. We beat Huddersfield on Saturday and Sunday when we trained in our stadium and [in] our stadium there were fiery training sessions and we have to produce it, more or less, every day.

"Now we have to use this momentum from Monday. The confidence is back - let's use it."

The result moved West Ham up from the bottom of the league table to 18th place.
