In another dramatic finish, Tomas Soucek secured a late 1-0 victory for West Ham against Backa Topola in the Europa League. Soucek has now scored the winning goals in the Hammers’ last three matches, the two previous ones occurring in the Premier League against Nottingham Forest and Burnley.
The midfielder, with seven goals in all competitions this season, expressed his joy at consistently finding the back of the net. Soucek’s decisive goal means West Ham only requires a point in their final group game against Freiburg to clinch the top spot in Group A.
The Czech Republic international emphasized the significance of the victory in a challenging match and expressed his desire for the team to secure first place in the group for a direct entry into the round of 16.
