West Ham vs Huddersfield as it happened: Pedro Obiang and Andre Ayew give home side a vital win

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.

Post-match quotes from West Ham manager Slaven Bilic

On the emotions of winning for the first time this season: "We are happy. I'm happy for the lads, I'm happy for the whole club. It was a very important game for us. It was a must-win game and I'm pleased with the way we played. Even if we hadn't won the game I could say nothing to the lads. We played good. It wasn't a nice performance but it was a top performance in all other stuff: winning second balls, determination, closing them down, getting corners, getting the free-kicks. We totally deserved it."

On feeling the pressure after three straight losses at the start of the season: "I've felt the pressure for a whole year now. It didn't start today. Although for me it's not logical to be under pressure for three days, it's modern football. Of course I felt the pressure."

On West Ham's adaptation to the London Stadium: "We are feeling that this stadium is now like our proper home. It will never be Upton Park. Of course, it is impossible to get that but it is becoming our home more and more."

On getting the win on his 49th birthday: "It's my birthday today and this is a great, great present for me and it was important for all the team."

Post-match quotes from Huddersfield manager David Wagner

On losing for the first time in the Premier League: "We were not good enough. It was a deserved result. We were second best in every area. The second half was slightly better. Our biggest problem was with the ball. We worked, we tried, we fought to keep the ball out of our goal but with the ball we were not good enough. We lost the ball too easily and they were able to keep the ball so, today, we were second best.

"We looked like a promotion team with some nerves, especially with the ball. My players are able to play football and today they haven't shown it. We made so many unforced errors today and didn't show what we are able to do.

"Performance-wise, we were not good enough. We have to be honest, West Ham were stronger today. Again, we were not good enough. We have to accept this, that eight or nine players were not at their best today. We will learn from it and make it better next Saturday."

On how he expects Huddersfield to react against Leicester on Saturday: "It's always key to show the right response after a defeat. What we've learned tonight is that it makes no sense to play football without bravery and without being comfortable on the ball. You have to be brave if you like to play with the best and today we've seen what happens if you are not brave enough and this is what we have to do better on Saturday."
