James Collins has insisted that West Ham United have "turned a corner" following the 2-0 victory over Norwich City on Tuesday night.

The defender scored the opening goal in the win which took the Hammers to 10th in the Premier League, and he was left in no doubt how important the victory was to the team.

"We are delighted, obviously, it takes us up the league and with teams taking points off each other, the dressing room is over the moon," Collins told Sky Sports News.

"It's been a tough three quarters of the season and we've turned a corner now, it's a good place to be."

Collins ended a run of six years without a Premier League goal by finding the net at Upton Park.
