Kouyate, who also scored West Ham's first goal in the London Stadium in August, ensured West Ham's gap over third-from-bottom Swansea stretched to eight points with his first half effort and admitted: "I have never experienced this sort of pressure before in my career".
The Senegal global scored the goal that beat Swansea to end a run of five Premier League defeats and take the Hammers a huge step towards safeguarding their top-flight status.

However, there are now just six games remaining and with two of them being against Everton and Manchester United respectively, time is running out.
"And now we don't want that situation to come again".
The Hammers put a string of disappointing results behind them by winning 1-0 against strugglers Swansea City at the weekend to get back to winning ways.
"He is one of the best managers I have worked for in my long career", he said. We didn't deserve anything more than what we got.
Five successive defeats and nearly as many votes of confidence from his employers had seemingly put Bilic on the brink but thankfully the fixture list threw him a lifeline in Swansea, a club whose players were even more paralysed by the fear of relegation than his own.
