Vladimír Coufal scored his first assist of the season in Monday’s Premier League second round match against Leicester. He helped West Ham to a 4-1 win.

West Ham were very active from the start, but they were not successful in the end. The first goal was scored by Pablo Fornals after a great action. Then Leicester were weakened by a red card tackle by Ayoze Perez.

The Hammers took advantage of a powerplay in the second half, with Said Benrahma making it 2-0. Then, with a great deal of luck, the visiting Youri Tielemans scored, but moments later Michail Antonio added a third goal.

And the burly striker didn’t stop at one goal. In the 84th minute, Antonio found Vladimir Coufal’s centre on the edge of the box, worked it neatly and slipped a shot past Kasper Schmeichel.

Antonio’s two goals put him alone at the top of the Premier League’s all-time goalscorers table, yet just three years ago he was a player who came onto the pitch more from the bench.

It was the first assist of the year for Coufal. In Monday’s match, the national defender was again one of the best, according to the Whoscored statistics page he was even the best defender on the pitch.
