Relive West Ham's vital win at the London Stadium

Slaven Bilic got the birthday present he so desperately needed as West Ham hauled themselves off the foot of the Premier League table with a 2-0 victory over Huddersfield.

Second-half goals from Pedro Obiang - thanks to a huge deflection - and Andre Ayew secured the Hammers' first league win of the season.

Victory came as a huge relief to manager Bilic, who must have feared he might go the same way as Frank de Boer at Crystal Palace had his side lost their fourth straight game.

Instead it was a happy homecoming for the Hammers, playing their first game of the season at the London Stadium, and a happy 49th birthday for the boss.

Relive all of the action below.

Star man

Michail Antonio. The winger, who missed the start of the season through injury, was back to his menacing best and gave Chris Lowe such a torrid evening the left-back was substituted midway through in the second half

Moment of the match

Pedro Obiang hit a speculative, to say the least, shot towards goal which looped up off the back of Mathias Jorgensen and crept inside the post - the first league goal Huddersfield have conceded this season.

Data point

West Ham keeper Joe Hart kept a first clean sheet in 23 league matches, stretching back to January. Town's Jonas Lossl missed out on becoming only the fourth keeper in Premier League history to keep clean sheets in his first four matches.

2' - Close! Andy Carroll brings down a long pass from Jose Fonte and drills the ball across goal but Cheikhou Kouyate can't get there in time to turn the ball home. 

That was almost the perfect start for the Hammers.

4' - An early worry for James Collins as he picks up a head injury following a coming together with Tom Ince. The Welshman trudges to the touchline but returns to the field a few seconds later.

8' - Tom Ince, booed by West Ham fans who remember his father's transfer to Manchester United decades ago, weaves his way into the Hammers' penalty area but his shot is blocked.

9' - Good work from Pablo Zabaleta down the right wing sees West Ham regain possession in a threatening position. The Argentine finds Chicharito, whose cross into Andy Carroll is headed behind for a corner.

13' - Off the bar! Michail Antonio bombs down the right wing before putting in a threatening low cross, which finds its way to Javier Hernandez at the far post. The Mexican shoots but his effort cannons off the crossbar.
