West Ham manager Alan Curbishley was naturally delighted after seeing his side win at Reading.
The former Charlton man believes Craig Bellamy's fine early goal gave them a great start.
Curbishley had feared it was not The Hammers' day after squandering numerous chances to put the game to bed, but was delighted with the eventual performance.
"We got a great start. Craig scored a fantastic goal," Curbishley told Sky Sports.
"Reading put us under pressure, but we hit them on the break.
"I lost count of our chances we had and I didn't think it was going to come along.
"I'm delighted with the result and delighted with the performance.
"Give credit to Reading, they put us under a lot of pressure.
"[Our finishing] was a bit wasteful. I think we had three or four one-on-ones.
"We've come out today and we've demonstrated the squad is strong."
