West Ham United boss David Moyes has praised the work-rate of Marko Arnautovic in the club's recent fixtures in the Premier League.

Arnautovic endured a difficult start after his summer switch from Stoke City, but the Austrian international has turned things around with two goals in three games in the top flight.

The winger has also been praised for his work-rate, and Moyes has claimed that is the biggest factor for Arnautovic becoming a crowd favourite at the London Stadium.

The 54-year-old told reporters: "Since he's been with us he has been very good. I have watched Stoke a lot and he played well for them too. He has worked hard, got a few goals, should have had a few more so overall, we are very content with him.

"I think Marko has always been capable of the performances. A bit of hard love at times with him but he has been good, the supporters have taken to him because of his performances.

"I think the supporters warm to you when your effort is big and people can see you putting it in, it turns people around quickly. Marko, with his effort and coupled with his technical ability, make him a crowd favourite at the moment."

On Saturday afternoon, Arnautovic netted in West Ham's 3-0 victory at his former club Stoke.
