Nuno Espírito Santo said his West Ham United players are making improvements individually and collectively, but still have a lot more work to do, after leading them to back-to-back Premier League matches for the first time this season.
The Hammers fell behind before roaring back to victory at London Stadium for a second weekend in succession, following a 3-1 win over Newcastle United last Sunday with a 3-2 success against Scott Parker’s Burnley on Saturday.
While Nuno was clearly pleased to see goals from striker Callum Wilson and substitutes Tomáš Souček and Kyle Walker-Peters secure three points after the Clarets had taken a first-half lead, the Head Coach also knows his team cannot afford to be so charitable in the future.
Speaking to West Ham TV, Nuno thanked the Claret and Blue Army for sticking with his team after seeing Zian Flemming head Burnley into a first-half lead, and vowed to continue working hard with his squad during the international break and beyond to raise their levels.
It's very hard to win successive games in the Premier League and we've done it, which is really good.
I think we can see some improvements in our boys. This is what we've been focused on individually, but we cannot [get carried away].
There were moments, especially in the beginning of the game, that I think we didn't start well. We let Burnley have the ball, so it's hard to adjust. We can see it once again.
It's a positive to react to the goal the way we did it, immediately with offensive actions, creating chances and scoring, but it's something that we have to look at as a team. It's not always going to be possible to react, so we have to try and change that situation.
But overall, we're delighted for the boys.
