Graham Potter expressed his pride in how his West Ham team performed in the win over Arsenal.

The victory in north London has all-but ended the Gunners hopes of a Premier League title this season, as West Ham arrived to haunt Declan Rice as his former side produced an outstanding display to claim a huge 2 points.

Potter could not hide his delight and pride at how his team performed, with many hoping this is the springboard to now finally kick on under the Potter era in east London.

“I’m incredibly proud, and pleased for the supporters,” said the Hammers boss after the game, as reported by the clubs Official Website.

“The players gave everything, and left everything out on the pitch, which is what we’ve been trying to instil and encourage.

“When you do that, you’ve got a chance to get results. Talent is one thing, but it’s about being a team, and having a collective mentality. I think we showed that today in abundance.

“The players have shown it in training – they’ve been fantastic to work with every day – and it’s hard to say that when you’re not getting the right results, because that’s what people want to see at the end of the day.

“So, today is great because they’ve got the reward for their hard work, and that’s why I’m really proud.”

Potter was also full of praise for Ollie Scarles, who made his first Premier League start and produced an exceptional display, to the delight of all connected with the club.

“He trains hard every day, but he’s a great person as well,” added Potter. “He’s fully committed, loves the Club, loves the team, and he wants to play for West Ham.

“He’s got a lot going for him, and really his personality is really impressive. It’s a huge thank you to the Academy really, because they’ve helped us by developing a top player.”
