Victor Moses has hailed the impact of the defenders, especially Winston Reid, during West Ham&rsquo;s shock 2 - 1 win over early season pacesetters Manchester City.<br /><br />The Hammers had raced into a two - goal lead thanks to goals from the Nigeria international and Sakho before City pulled a goal back at the end of the first half.<br /><br />&ldquo;When it was 2-0 I thought we could have scored more goals, but then City scored and we had to defend really well in the second half.<br /><br />&ldquo;Reid was on fire today, everyone at the back was solid and we deserved the win. They have great players and were pushing to try to score but it wasn&rsquo;t the day for them.&rdquo;<br /><br />With three wins on the road and the victory against Newcastle United, West Ham, occupy the second position on the table with 12 points.<br />
