Midfielder Noble, who progressed through West Ham`s ranks and made his league debut in 2005, scored the first of the three goals against Stoke from the spot after Manuel Lanzini was fouled by Erik Pieters in the first half.
"It was a good performance, all in all, and we`ve kept three clean sheets in a week, which is some achievement, especially with the opposition we`ve played against," Noble told the club`s website (www.whufc.com).
"It was nice to get on the scoresheet in my 300th Premier League game... I don`t think I`ll really appreciate it until I finish playing."
The 30-year-old also praised West Ham`s fans for their support as Moyes` side won their first away league game of the season.
