DAVID MOYES’ critics may be feeling sheepish this morning.

This was a dynamite performance from West Ham as they overcame a first-leg deficit to thrash Freiburg and book their place in today’s quarter-final draw.

Moyes has been chastised for his team’s style of play recently as domestic results have dropped off. But Moyes toasted a third straight European quarter-final and said: “From where we’ve come from, a team avoiding relegation, it’s a brilliant achievement.

“The club has moved on so much in the last few years. It’s hard to point out how good it’s been. And we want to make it better if we can.”
