“This match demonstrated why football is the world’s greatest game. It had everything – passion, skill, determination and total commitment.
Not one Iron left anything out there at all – they all ran to the last drop of sweat – we ask for nothing more.
Thank you West Ham – every one of you.”

Declan Rice, who had a bad game at the start of the season in the reverse fixture at Liverpool, put in again an imperious performance in midfield.
He told www.whufc.com: “Without a doubt, we were excellent. We missed some great chances, me included, and I was gutted with that, but I think you saw, to a man, we knew the shape, we worked hard, we got the point and it could have been all three.
“I think you saw us walking off the pitch, we were knackered, but that was the hard work we put in and the hard work we put in on the training field since the Wolves defeat.
We were disappointed not to pick up three points but we look forward to Palace now and we’ll try to go and pick up something there.
“The spirit is flying now and we need to push. Palace is going to be a tough place to go but we’re confident.”
For Rice, his assured display was surely redemption on a personal level too for the Anfield experience back in summer 2018.
