Vladimír Coufal wants to give the Claret and Blue Army many more nights like Thursday’s at Tottenham Hotspur.
The Irons came from behind to complete a famous comeback win at their north London rivals, as Jarrod Bowen and James Ward-Prowse hit the back of the net to stun the home crowd.
Coufal was thrilled to claim a victory which extended the Hammers’ unbeaten record to a sixth game and kept them within touching distance of the Premier League’s top five.
With another away game to come this weekend at Fulham, Coufal is keen to keep his foot on the pedal and help propel his team further forward.
“It was one of the most important games for the fans and also we are really happy we could please them with this victory,” he explained.
“It’s really good that we could thank them for their support like this.
“If we can win at Fulham too it would be something amazing. It’s a tough game and we play again [quickly] so we will recover well and prepare for the game.”
Coufal praised the all-round team effort in victory at Tottenham – one which required them to dig deep after a lightning-fast start from the home side saw them take an early lead through Cristian Romero.
But the Hammers did not wilt, and came back with an outstanding second half performance.
“We knew it would be a game like this probably, with a lot of them on the ball in a high position, and we would have to be compact, stick together and cover each other.
“We did an unbelievable job together defensively and we survived. The first 15, 20 minutes was like hell almost, to be honest, but we survived. We conceded just one goal – from a corner kick, which was not good enough from us – but in the second half we took our chances.
“We scored two goals and I think they didn’t create a lot of chances in the second half.
“I’m not saying we controlled the game, but I think we were very solid, compact and difficult to play though. We played our game to full effect.”
