Slaven Bilic was content with a "great point" even though West Ham gave up an early lead to draw 1-1 with Manchester United on Sunday.
Diafra Sakho gave the Hammers the perfect start when he headed in from Dimitri Payet's free-kick after two minutes at Old Trafford.
But Zlatan Ibrahimovic replied for United midway through the first half and both sides spurned chances to win the match.
"It was a really good game for us, a great point," Hammers boss Bilic told Sky Sports. "I have to praise the guys for their performance, they showed character, commitment, team spirit and the quality you need to get anything when you play at Old Trafford.
"They were better in the first half and I am not happy with the way we reacted after we scored the goal, as we should have gained confidence from it.
"But in the second half, we were much better, we pressed them high, exploited the spaces they were leaving behind, and we played some really good football.
"At the end, we could have won the game, I am really pleased with the performance and to get a point here is always good."
Goalkeeper Darren Randolph was the man of the match for the Hammers after making several key stops.
And Bilic added: "You can't prevent them not having a few chances, we limited them in the second half but when we needed to defend in our box we were really good and sharp and when that was not enough we had Randolph in goal who was great today."
The Hammers also had penalty appeals turned away late in the first half when Payet's cross hit an arm at close range.
"For me it was a penalty," said Bilic. "I am not talking about a bad tackle or yellow card…it was very close but it was a penalty."
