LONDON (Reuters) - WEST HAM UNITED 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN 0West Ham United claimed their first points of the season by beating promoted Huddersfield Town 2-0 on Monday, giving some breathing space to under-fire coach Slaven Bilic who could finally celebrate his birthday. West Ham were playing their first home game of the campaign after having to travel for their opening three matches because the stadium they moved into last season had been used for the world athletics championships in August. It is maybe not logical for me to be under pressure after three games but it is modern football," said Bilic who was 49 on Monday. "It is my birthday today and this is a great, great present for me," added the delighted Croatian. The win took West Ham off the bottom of the table and up to 18th place, still in the relegation zone, while Huddersfield stay sixth with seven points from their four games.
