I don't think we did anything different in terms of preparation. It is us as players understanding the situation we are in and wanting to change that."
"I wanted to come here and get the win. I didn't even think about anything with man of the match. It is now something to build on - we have a big chance of getting another three points next weekend. There is something about this week - we have been really together. We knew when the first goal went in we needed to bounce back and show the fans we have got character."
West Ham secured their second victory of the season and first since August with a 3-1 comeback over Newcastle, overturning a deficit through Lucas Paqueta, a Sven Botman own goal and a stoppage-time Tomas Soucek strike. The result ended a seven-match winless run and delivered the club's first home win since February. Captain Jarrod Bowen described the victory as long overdue, emphasized player responsibility to change the situation and credited persistence despite recent misfortune. Young midfielder Freddie Potts impressed on his first start, praised squad unity and called the comeback evidence of character and a foundation to build on. Manager Nuno Espirito Santo urged using the win as a platform.
