# Pellegrini believes West Ham victory shows character of his team

Manuel Pellegrini has admitted that fans got to see both the best and worst of his West Ham side against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.

The Hammers were 3-1 down at the London Stadium with just 15 minutes remaining, and somehow came from behind in dramatic fashion to win 4-3 over the beleaguered Terriers.

Jan Siewert’s side, who sit rock bottom of the Premier League table, were in a promising position thanks to goals from Juninho Bacuna, and a double from January signing Karlan Grant.

However, West Ham second half goals coming from Angelo Ogbonna and a Javier Hernandez brace, after Mark Noble’s first half penalty, saw the Hammers snatch a win.

Talking after the Premier League match-up, Pellegrini admitted he hated watching his side play badly in the first half. As reported by [BT Sport](https://sport.bt.com/news/pellegrini-it-was-my-team-at-their-worst-it-was-my-team-at-their-best-S11364345700330), Pellegrini said:

> I hate it when my team play badly. I think everyone was disappointed when we were 3-1 down but we did well to come back.

> The victory is very good for the fans, especially when you are losing 3-1 and you don’t give up. That reflects the character of the team

> It’s good for everyone. For the fans, for me, the players. It’s good for everyone except Huddersfield.
