David Moyes has lavished West Ham’s “magic” Fantastic Four with special praise after a famous win over Man United.
There is safety in numbers and that is certainly the case for West Ham this morning.
Seven, four and one to be precise after West Ham secured a deserved 1-0 win over Manchester United.
That put the Hammers seven points clear of Premier League relegation trouble and makes them now all but safe.
And it was thanks – in the main – to four West Ham players in particular according to delighted and relieved manager David Moyes.

Said Benrahma got the goal which secured the vital win over Man United – with a helping hand – quite literally – from David de Gea.
But it was Declan Rice, midfield partner Lucas Paqueta, striker Michail Antonio and stopper Lukasz Fabianski who impressed their manager most it seems.
Moyes has lavished West Ham’s “magic” Fantastic Four with special praise after a famous win over Man United.
Antonio has rediscovered his best form and led the line superbly. He gave Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw nightmares.
Rice controlled the game and had Casemiro in his pocket. Paqueta was imperious with his sublime ability on the ball.
And Fabianski pulled out two or three crucial stops to ensure the Hammers kept a clean sheet.
Pomp and ceremony
“I thought we played with a bit of pomp tonight…” Moyes said after the game.
“Mick was a threat when he got a hold of it, you know, we looked as though we were ready to break.
“Declan was excellent in midfield getting up onto them and the second ball and getting the game started for us.
“And Lucas Paqueta at the moment is giving us lots of little bits of magic to get us out of trouble…
“Lots of good things tonight…
“And the goalkeeper’s been fabulous.”
