Walker-Peters hailed the spirit shown by the Hammers to come from a goal down to secure wins in consecutive Premier League matches, having not done in any of their previous 48 top-flight games.
“I think it shows the character in the whole team,” he observed. “Everyone’s together. You know, I said it earlier, you look at Tom, you look at myself, we both want to be starting games and at the moment we’re not. But when we come on, we’re doing our best to make a difference.
“Tom has done it two weeks in a row and I have this week. So, there’s really real togetherness in the group.
“It’s huge. This was a six-pointer for us, the position we’re in. We spoke about that throughout the week, how important it is for us to win, especially before the international break. We wanted to go into the break with a good feeling and we’re glad we’ve done that. We’ll work hard this coming week and prepare for the next game [at AFC Bounemouth].”
