West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce has hailed his players for their attitude during Saturday's victory over Crystal Palace.
The Hammers picked up their first win of the season at Selhurst Park thanks to a convincing 3-1 triumph against their London rivals.
"We completely controlled the game for virtually the whole 90 minutes except for when we let a sloppy goal in just after half time," Allardyce told the club's official website.
"They had a 10-minute spell playing on their home ground, but the rest of the game belonged to us and I think the way the lads tactically controlled the game was brilliant."
West Ham get their League Cup campaign underway on Tuesday when they welcome Sheffield United to Upton Park.
