“Not only today, it’s always good when we win games for (the owners), especially because they were both here,” said Maresca. “We can give them some good moments. They were in the changing room, they were all happy.”
The match itself saw the West Londoners dominate from the early minutes, capitalising on West Ham's defensive lapses to secure a comfortable lead.
While acknowledging the team's positive trajectory, Maresca cautioned against complacency, emphasising the need for continuous improvement.
“I think we’re on the right path,” he said. “We’re in the right direction, but it’s a long journey. We won today and we’re in a good moment, it looks like everything is fine. But not everything is fine. We could attack better, defend better.

“For me, the main target in this moment is to see how we progress as a team and I think we are improving many things, even if today we could manage the game much better.
“Sometimes we need to give more passes and keep the ball. We are in a rush and we want to attack immediately. But overall I think we deserved to win.”
