Mark Noble praises West Ham's 'amazing' qualities after Everton victory

West Ham captain Mark Noble believes the Hammers have the necessary qualities to remain in the race for a Champions League place.

Slaven Bilic's side followed up victories over Sunderland and Tottenham in the past week as they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Everton on Saturday.

That put them fifth in the Premier League table ahead of Sunday's fixtures, just one point behind fourth-placed Manchester City with Arsenal two points further ahead in third.

"We've had some amazing results lately - like Spurs on Wednesday [a 1-0 win] - but for team spirit that was fantastic," said Noble following the Goodison Park success.

"We are delighted as you can imagine. It just shows you what we have got this year.

"This team spirit, desire and never-give-up attitude we have got is amazing.

"We know we are a good team, we have proved it over the last eight or nine months, but that was a little bit special.

"There are still 27 points to play for. There were a lot of draws but, like we have this week, if you put a few wins together you are back up there.

"To come away with three wins is fantastic and massive credit to the club."

Romelu Lukaku had a penalty saved by West Ham goalkeeper Adrian as Everton missed a golden chance to go 3-0 up and that allowed Michail Antonio to kick-start the Hammers' revival in the 78th minute, with substitute Diafra Sakho and Dimitri Payet completing the comeback.

"Adrian's save was the turning point in the game and we never looked back," added Noble.

"I was saying to the lads on the pitch 'Get a goal' and it gives you belief and gives them nervousness and we managed to do that.

"We were 2-0 down against 10 men and we could have given up but we never and we deserved our three points for the amount of effort we put in."
