West Ham stopper labels victory one of their best
West Ham defender Lars Jacobsen believes the club's 3-1 win over Liverpool was one of their performances of the season.
The Hammers moved level on 28 points with West Brom and Wolves on Sunday by brushing aside Kenny Dalglish's troops at Upton Park.
Scott Parker and Demba Ba opened up a 2-0 lead before substitute Carlton Cole made sure of the points late on after Glen Johnson pulled one back against his former club.
Things could barely be tighter at the bottom courtesy of West Ham's success and ex-Blackburn and Everton man Jacobsen thinks Avram Grant's side played some 'brilliant' football.
Performance
The Dane commented: "I think it's one of the top performances, no doubt about that.
"I think it was a fully deserved victory. I know the last 20-25 minutes, we were a little bit on the heels.
"I think it's normal in our situation. You get a little bit scared of conceding goals.
"But I think in the main part of the game, we played brilliant football, we created chances and we defended well.
"Obviously, the three points were very important - we all know about that.
"But, mentally, beating Liverpool is tremendous and hopefully it can give us a lot going into the next couple of games.
"It's not enough to win. We need to win some more games and hopefully it can help us, this victory."
