​West Ham players behind under pressure boss Bilic

Cheikhou Kouyate has dedicated West Ham's 1-0 win over Tottenham to Slaven Bilic, insisting the manager has the players' backing.

"Despite all the speculation, Slaven was very confident before the game," Kouyate told West Ham's official website.

"We were right behind him the entire way. He said before the match that this was like a final for us and so we are very happy that we've won it for him."
