West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce described his side's play-off triumph as the pinnacle of his managerial career.

The Hammers defeated Blackpool 2-1 at Wembley after a dramatic late winner by Ricardo Vaz Te.

Allardyce took Bolton up via the play-offs in 2001 but he believes this is the best achievement of his career.

Allardyce said: "It's probably bettered that because it's West Ham United, with the size of the club and the pressure, and because it's at Wembley.

"It's bigger than anything else, other games played here are cup competitions but this is everything.

"I'm just delighted to be back in the Premier League. It means everything to me."
