While David Moyes was humble enough to say he “can’t take the credit” for West Ham’s emphatic victory over Bournemouth on New Year’s Day in his second spell at the club, football fans and pundits alike are already lavishing praise on him.

Former great England striker turned football pundit Gary Lineker was impressed with West Ham’s ruthless display in the first-half where they went 3-0 up, with Mark Noble bagging a brace and Sebastien Haller displaying a fine bit of acrobatics.

Great start for David Moyes: 3 up at halftime. 11 British managers now in the Premier League. Wonder how long ago it was that they outnumbered foreign coaches in the top flight. One for you statisticians @OptaJoe
