Nothing summed up David Moyes’s influence on West Ham more than the sight of Jarrod Bowen tearing clear in added time to lay on Nikola Vlasic’s first goal in claret and blue. Once such a soft touch, this team does not know how to stop running. After all just look at Lukasz Fabianski sprinting the length of the pitch to join in the celebrations when Vlasic rounded off a superb fightback from West Ham, whose push for European football has fresh impetus after this resounding win.
Fabianski’s charge from his goal was typical of the togetherness that West Ham have developed under Moyes. This group is far fitter and sturdier than previous generations and there was a defiance to the way they responded after falling behind to Emmanuel Dennis’s early goal, the quality of their football too much for Watford to handle.” They’ve got a resilience to them,” Moyes said. “We’re not accepting them rolling over.”
