Grant wants Hammers to maintain top form

West Ham boss Avram Grant hailed an "unbelievable" result as holders Manchester United were dumped out of the Carling Cup with a 4-0 thrashing at Upton Park. Jonathan Spector and Carlton Cole scored two goals each as United crashed to their heaviest defeat since 2001 and their first loss of the season. The Hammers are in the semi-final finals of the League Cup for the first time in over 20 years and Grant hopes the result can help inspire a move out of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone. "I thought we could win but this is still an unbelievable result. We continue our progress," he said. "We scored four goals and could have scored more. But for me four is enough. "To be in the semi-finals is very good for this club. We are trying to build something step by step. We have done the right thing. "We have played many more good games without winning so the players maybe have lost confidence. But the most important is to show mental strength and it was so unbelievable."
