West Ham defender James Tomkins: 'Players are buzzing after Tottenham win'

West Ham United defender James Tomkins has said that everyone at the club is brimming with confidence after last weekend's victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Hammers visited White Hart Lane in dismal form, having not won since the opening day of the season, but produced a stunning second-half display to run-out 3-0 winners.

Tomkins, who described the atmosphere as unforgettable, believes that there is a new-found confidence at the club since the victory.

"It's amazing what a win can do! Ever since, everyone's come in buzzing from what happened at the weekend," he told the club's official website.

"It's certainly an atmosphere that I won't ever forget in my career. A 3-0 win at White Hart Lane, it doesn't get much better than that.

"We always stay positive at the Club and we knew it was a massive game for the fans and everyone involved. It was a massive victory. I'm still pinching myself that we've beaten Tottenham 3-0 at White Hart Lane."

The win moved Sam Allardyce's side out of the bottom three and up to 13th in the Premier League.
