West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola was happy to finally enjoy that winning feeling again after watching his relegation-battlers move clear of the bottom three as Burnley were beaten 5-3 at Upton Park.
The Hammers were 5-0 up before a late Burnley fightback which led to three goals.
“It was an entertaining game, although I would have preferred to have conceded fewer goals – but you can’t have everything,” said the Hammers boss.
“Right now we are very good coming forward, we just need to keep the balance when we are defending.
“We switched off too early. But we wanted the three points, and we have to be happy with that.
“I will take a lot of positives from this game – we scored another five goals.
"Going forwards we are doing very well.”
