| Slaven Bilic was delighted with his West Ham side's defending during their 3-0 win at Liverpool |
SLAVEN BILIC says his West Ham side to "park the bus" against Liverpool this afternoon.
The Hammers won 3-0 at Anfield thanks to goals from Manuel Lanzini, Mark Noble and Diafra Sakho.
Noble was sent off late in the game, after Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho had been dismissed.
And Bilic rejoiced in his side's victory, which comes after two home defats and a season-opening win at Arsenal.
"We played good, we started well," the manager said.
"We were well organised, and had a plan. The players worked to the plan perfectly.
"Their movement, concentration and possession was top level.
"We parked the bus but we didn't put the handbrake on.
"It was simply great defending when we didn't have the ball."
West Ham defender Aaron Cresswell added: "We knew we had to be here and be straight out the blocks from minute one and we've done that.
"The last two games were not good enough and I'll hold my hands up and say I wasn't in the last game either. But here we pressed straight from the off.
"Liverpool is a massive great club and thankfully we managed to get three points.
"We had a young bench - I think we need a child minder on there! - but we have got some really promising players filling in for a few injured guys."
