Reid got off the mark for the season as West Ham opened their home points account with a 3-1 victory.
His second minute headed opener was quickly added to by Diafra Sakho’s chip and although Raheem Sterling pulled one back for the visitors ahead of half-time, Morgan Amalfitano wrapped it up late on to leave Reid delighted.
“It was an excellent victory,” Reid says. “Liverpool are a good team who will cause you problems, but I thought we limited them today.
“It was good to score so early, the ball came in and I just managed to get my head on it. All in all, the boys really worked hard today.
“The ones who came on too – Morgan scored which let us relax for the last couple of minutes – and it was a very good performance.”
Sakho’s goal was his third in as many starts in a West Ham jersey and for his part Reid has been impressed with how the new boys have settled in.
“Apart from the Southhampton game, we’ve played pretty well. The new signings are starting to settle in.
“I know myself going to a new country and a new club can take time, but they’re showin good promise.”
The Hammers had to defend solidly, especially during the second period, and Reid was happy with that aspect of his side’s efforts too.
“In some situations this year we could have defended better, but on Saturday the defensive unit and the team as a whole was very good.
“We limited their chances – they were always going to get them, but we did limit them.”
