David Moyes brands West Ham hero Andy Carroll unbeatable in the air

David Moyes feels Andy Carroll was in unbeatable form as West Ham came from behind to beat West Brom.

James McClean had given the Baggies a half-time lead but Carroll, in his first start since November, scored twice to move the Hammers out of the relegation zone.

"I don’t think any centre half would be able to deal with his jump and header," Moyes told BBC Match of the Day.

"The second goal was good play on the break and the ball was played across goal and Andy scores from a tight angle.

"If he hadn’t scored, I would have said he still played well tonight."

West Ham now have less than 48 hours rest before facing Tottenham on Thursday at Wembley Stadium and Moyes is happy to get back to winning ways before the derby.

"It was so important as it could have gone either way," he said. "The first half was not good, but the second half was much more like it. We got the reward for keeping at it.

"We play again in two days, but at least Tottenham are in the same position."
