West Ham manager David Moyes spoke of how he was not quite sure how to feel after his side came from a goal behind at the London Stadium to draw 1-1 with Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday night.
It was the away team who had taken the lead via an own goal from Thilo Kehrer in the first half, before Tomas Soucek found an equaliser for the Hammers ten minutes after the break to get them back in the match.
From that point onwards it was anybody's game, but despite the end-to-end nature of the second 45 minutes, neither side were able to find a winner in the remaining time, with Moyes explaining his conflicted emotions at full time.
"I'm pleased we got something from the game," the Scot said, "but I'm also a bit disappointed we didn't take more from it. I think there was a bit of both in it.
"There was some good stuff, some not so good stuff, but overall I'm pleased we got something from the game."
For the hosts, there were no fewer than three new summer signings involved, the only starter of which was Kehrer who was unfortunate to score the aforementioned own goal.
Coming in from the bench was Emerson, as well as the man who West Ham signed for a club record fee in the form of Lucas Paqueta, who had a little over 20 minutes to impress when he was substituted on for Said Benrahma.
The new arrival was involved in a fair few opportunities for the home team, coming close on a couple of occasions, and Moyes spoke of his optimism at the new man melding well into the side.
"I hope [Lucas Paqueta] can keep adding to it. He's already a very good player and I think he will give us something slightly different.
"We need a link between our midfield and our forward players, and see if we can make better passes or better final choices, and I'm hoping he can help provide that for us."
Finally, there was just time in his post-match press conference to give a word for the fans, who created a brilliant atmosphere at the London Stadium last night, no doubt pushing their team to get back into the game when they were not performing at their best.
"I thought the second half was great," said the 59-year-old manager. "I actually thought, after the penalty decision [VAR not awarding Spurs a penalty in the first half] went our way, I thought the crowd helped us and were right behind the team.
"It was great to have that support tonight."
Conte rues conceding 'stupid goal'
Meanwhile, Spurs head coach Antonio Conte was slightly more dismayed with his side's inability to hold onto the lead which they gained 10 minutes before half time.
It was the visitors who controlled possession throughout the match, and while the chances were fairly evenly spread between the two, the Italian felt as though his team ought to have come away with more than just the point that they did.
"For the game, for the situation we created, maybe there is a bit of disappointment about the final result," said Conte. "We scored, we had the game under control, then we conceded a stupid goal, honestly.
"You can defend well for 95 minutes but in 30 seconds, if you don't pay attention, then the opponent punishes you, and that happened tonight.
"It's a pity because at the end, we deserved the three points. At the same time, in the last minutes, we risked losing the game. It would be incredible to lose this game."
Whilst the 53-year-old cut a rather frustrated figure for the majority of his press conference, it was not all negative perceptions to come from the game, as Conte pointed out.
"I believe the team was really good to defend set pieces, corners and throw-ins because we worked a lot on this aspect, we knew well the capacity of West Ham to exploit this situation."
He continued: "I think the team is improving, learning to cope with these types of situations, the atmosphere at this stadium. Last season, we lost here 1-0. Now, today, we go home disappointed because I think we lost two points.
"We are taking a step forward, but we have to know that we have to pay attention in every detail because, I repeat, the details move the final result."
