West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was an important reaction, we knew it would be tough and we were frustrated with how we played over there [in Greece].

"There was fire in our bellies. It was difficult in the first half, but we dug deep in the second half and got our reward.

"You have highs and lows in football, we made a positive start and felt unbeatable really. We have had a slump but you're gonna get that - that's the difference between the top teams and the rest, they have the consistency.

"Tonight is a huge win for us and the first step in gathering some momentum."
