West Ham captain Zouma: We showed fight for victory over Man Utd

West Ham captain Kurt Zouma says victory over Manchester United was deserved.

The Hammers won 2-0 thanks to goals from Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.

It feels great because this was a great win against a good team and a clean sheet as well, which is important for us," Zouma told the club's website. We keep grinding and we keep going now.

It was a very, very tough game for us, especially after the game we had this week but, defensively, I think we were very solid. It was a solid game from everyone and everyone gave his all and everyone was fighting because this period was tough.

We got rewarded this time with the win and the forward players made the difference today with their quality. They were very clinical and the team is going well and hopefully we keep going that way.

The spirit is always there, the mentality is always there and we always fight for each other like a family. That's what I always say and as you can see today, everyone went in the same direction and was fighting for every ball. We were patient, we had some tough moments, but we managed to dig deep and stay strong and get the win at the end."
