West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to Match of the Day: “We knew it was going to be tough until the end. It was important we keep believing, fighting ’til the last minute. That is something we have in our character and that is positive for us.”
On matchwinner Callum Wilson: “Callum is giving us huge moments. We are delighted. Fantastic, what can I say? We have all of the squad available. It [his selection up front] is a good headache to have.”
On the remainder of the relegation battle: “It is going to be until the end – keep fighting, keep believing. Tough one but we are in our path.”
West Ham goalscorer Callum Wilson speaking to BBC Sport: “Over the moon with the three points first and foremost, and I managed to pop up with the winning goal.
"The atmosphere was electric. I think the fans and the players have really come together in this period and it has stood us in good stead."
On the relegation battle: “We’re the ones in the driving seat at the moment and if we take care of our own results, it should stand us in good stead come the end of the season.
"When the goal went in it was a feeling of frustration, but when the eight minutes of added time went up I wanted to go and get that winning goal.
"The lads are buzzing. You do ultimately look at other results, we knew they [Tottenham] were playing a game in which they were the favourites, so we had to do our job.”
