The Senegal international scored his third goal in four appearances for Avram Grant's side as he contributed to Sunday's 3-1 win over Liverpool. Ba netted his club's second goal with a well-taken header and the resulting three points lifted West Ham to 18th position in the Premier League. Only goal difference has kept Grant's team in the drop zone and their January signing will continue to give 100 per cent in the scrap for survival. "I train hard and try to get the best out of myself. That's why I came here to West Ham," Ba said in The Sun. West Ham were deserved winners as they inflicted a first defeat on Kenny Dalglish's Liverpool since mid-January. Ba said: "We are very happy. Liverpool are not a team that give away points and we had a good game. "If you look at the league table it says three points but for the confidence it is a very good win. "All the games are very important, like the Liverpool game. "So we are going to focus on the next training session and the Stoke match on Saturday and work hard to get three points next week. "I haven't been here the whole season but from what I've seen we're playing well."
