Diafra Sakho is determined to make the Boleyn Ground a fortress this season, after playing a significant part in successive home wins over Liverpool and then Queens Park Rangers.
The 24-year-old was lurking with intent when Nedum Onuoha put through his own net on Sunday and then gleefully headed in James Tomkins' effort to settle matters against Harry Redknapp's men.
But far from obsessing about his own goalscoring feats, Sakho is every bit the team player and hopes West Ham United's new-found home form is a sign of things to come.
"Sunday's win was just as important as Liverpool, because we know that the fans expect that and winning again at home will boost our confidence. We'll look to continue with this momentum and hope that teams dread coming here.
"The most important thing on Sunday was always to win at home. Away from home, we'll go with that same aim, namely to take points. We've got a good group here, everyone's feeling good and that will show itself on the pitch."
As for his part in Sunday goals, Sakho was pleading ignorance, reluctant to say whether Onuoha's intervention had cost the Senegal man a goal.
"I don't know, it happened too quickly," he confirmed. "I couldn't see but I watched the video afterwards to see whether I might have scored or not, but it's the victory that matters.
And West Ham's leading marksman was hardly about to take the risk of standing and watching Tomkins' strike loop goalward, hoping that his Hammers colleague won't hold it against him.
"I might have nicked his goal, perhaps, because I didn't know whether I had to leave it or not, whether it was going in or not, or if there was a defender behind me.
"I just wanted to finish off the move and whether it's me or James who scores, we'll happily take it. Then again, he's a defender, so he can leave it to me. No bother.
"I didn't want to take the risk of leaving it and I reckon he'll understand that. He's a defender and if his attacker scores, he'll be pleased."
Either way, it is all in the name of winning football matches and that remains Sakho's one and only concern.
"I try to score and that's thanks to my teammates. On Sunday the most important thing wasn't scoring goals but rather winning the game. I'm trying to help the team as much as I can, at least so that we can hit our targets this season.
"It's too early in the season to see what will be, but for now we concentrate on winning games and we'll take stock at the end of the season."
