David Moyes backs Tomas Soucek to score more goals as West Ham chase top four

Moyes was pleased with the performance and has backed Soucek to score more goals between now and the end of the season.

The West Ham boss said: "He's got four now, so I'm not putting 10 beyond him. He got 10 last year and he had a great season so I'm hoping that gives him the confidence.

"I thought he played better today. I thought his whole performance as well as the goal - and it's the performances I'm after, I'm looking for improved performances and I thought today's - was a much-improved performance."

The Irons are currently on a four-match unbeaten run in the Premier League and are hot on the heels of their top-four chasing rivals.

Moyes is happy with his team's current form and was pleased with their performance against Wolves adding: "I thought we were good on the ball, created some much-improved stuff.

"I thought we created more chances than we have in other games, so I thought there was lots of good things about today's performance."

Prior to the match, there was a strong show of support for Andriy Yarmolenko and Ukraine, with Declan Rice leading the teams out carrying a number seven shirt in support of his team-mate.

"I think Premier League football is looked to throughout the world. Wherever you are in the world, the Premier League football is watched, whatever continent you're on," the West Ham manager added.

"I think there is a message coming from the Premier League - you saw it last night in the Manchester City v Everton game.

"It it was a brilliant message that they're putting out all round saying that 'nobody here, nobody in this part of the world is recognising war, we don't want it, we don't want to hear about it'.

"We support Ukraine and we support our player in Yarmolenko.

"At the moment we've given him a bit of time off and I'm hoping that he'll be back in training tomorrow, but we're really just more interested that he's got his family safe and that everyone connected with him is OK."
