Aaron Cresswell hailed table-topping West Ham after victory over Leicester City.

Not only did Cresswell help his team to a 4-1 win over Leicester City that took them to the top of the Premier League table for the first time in over 15 years, he also saw his teammate of six years, Michail Antonio, become West Ham United's outright leading scorer in Premier League history.

“It was fantastic," Cresswell told whufc.com. “We knew that Leicester are a good team and have some really good players.

“I think the sending off [for Ayose Perez in the first half] has obviously gone in our favour, but some of our play tonight was fantastic. It's fantastic to have all the fans back in, and what a great start to the season we've had.

“It's still early on, but two wins – one on the road – has been a fantastic start. We want to continue that going into the international break and hopefully get another win here on Saturday.

“It was great to have the fans back! 60,000… and to come out on a Monday night like this! It's brilliant – hopefully we'll have the same on Saturday."

He added: “Throughout pre-season we played some great football, carrying on from the back end of last season.

“We took it into the start of this season and the lads up top have really kicked on this year. It's fantastic for them."
