West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola dismissed talk of his side being clear of relegation danger following a comfortable 3-0 home win over fellow strugglers Hull City.

Valon Behrami, Carlton Cole and Julien Faubert gave the Hammers the points and backed up a 2-0 victory over Birmingham City last time out.

The Italian commented:"It is too early to say, but the last two results have been big for us not only in terms of points and position in the table, but in terms of confidence for the whole team.

"But we have some massive games coming up, especially at home and we have to stay focused. It is a very good indication today that it is not over yet.

"When there was a little bit of doubt in the game it was because we allowed those doubts. I am talking about the last five minutes of the first half when they came back and had a couple of chances.

"We are looking better but need to keep a focus. This is a team that when it plays with confidence, can be a surprise.

"We don't know whether 37 or 38 points will be good enough to be safe. There have been some surprise results like Tottenham losing against Wolves, but we will try and get 40 if we can."
