In one of the great upsets of this week, West Ham United got to defeat Chelsea FC in the fourth round League Cup match with a 2-1 victory. Croatian manager Slaven Bilic was happy with the win, he believes that getting positive results are of great help for the team's confidence. This will only be beneficial in the Premier League and Europa League performances they deliver, Chelsea was a great test for the Hammers.
Talking to the club's website, Bilic said: "You never know in a cup. We approached this competition with great ambition, that was obvious. If we play like this, we are capable of progressing. This is not only important for the competition but also for the Premier League. It gives you more confidence. We will be a little bit tired on the training ground, but then it's going to be buzzing and from that we will be less tired.
"Now we have most our players back fit, we can do it, as a unit and a team. Now we have three wins on the spin. It's always going to be ups and downs but we need to focus like we have done. I'm very optimistic of course."
About Fernandes' goal, Bilic added: "He is very young and he's relatively unknown in England. I would be lying if I said I expected him to break into the side so quickly. He presents himself very well in training and he is a very talented player who needs to keep working hard. He has got everything; stamina, he has got technique and skill and a good football brain and he should bring us a lot of qualities."
