Manuel Pellegrini feels West Ham finally started playing the way he wants them to during their 2-0 Premier League win over Norwich.
The in-form Sebastien Haller put his side ahead after just 24 minutes at the London Stadium, tapping home a pass from Arthur Masuaku.
Reflecting on the game, Pellegrini said: “I think that in the first 10, 15 minutes they had a lot of possession and they made dangerous actions inside or near our box.
“I think that after that we increased our pace to recover the ball, we had a good possession and we started playing the way that I see this team playing in the Premier League.”
He said: “We scored a goal and we continued to try to create chances.
“We try to be a complete team, defending all the players in their current positions when we don’t have the ball.”
“I said before this game, I said at the beginning of the season, I said also at the pre-season we need to improve in defending,” he said.
“We conceded too many goals last season. You can be a solid team in defending and be an attacking team also.
“I was very happy with the performance at the back.”
Speaking on Saturday about the injury, Farke said: “He’s on crutches at the moment and is on the way to the hospital. We have to wait for the scans.
“There was a tackle against his ankle, the ball was three yards away, he rolled his ankle.
“It’s totally swollen, I hope it’s not too bad because we deserve at the moment a bit of luck because of several injuries, but I can’t say too much at the moment because we have to wait for the outcome of the scans.”
Farke believed the tackle changed the course of the game, adding: “In general today this result is tough to take.
“When my player, my leader, my captain has to go off after such a situation it influences the game.”
