Hero Soucek! This is how the midfielder finally scored and decided the match in the 88th minute

Tomas Soucek got back on the scorers list after a long silence. This time, he scored in the 88th minute and turned the game against Nottingham into a game for the Hammers!

12. the English Premier League round brought London West Ham a duel against last year’s league newcomers, Nottingham Forest. Despite the paper expectations, the Hammers struggled for a long time and were saved only by Tomas Soucek.

The match was 2-2, with Lucas Paquetá and Jarrod Bowen scoring for the home side and Awoniyi and Anthony Elanga scoring for the visitors, and it came down to the 88th minute. At this point, after a long wait, the Czech international’s scoring moment came.

And how else could the former Slavia Prague mainstay have scored but with his head. A corner kick was taken by summer acquisition James Ward-Prowse. It was Souček who was best positioned on the edge of the box and placed his attempt unstoppably towards the left post of Vlachodimos’ goal.

The midfielder with the number 28 on his back scored for the first time since October 8, when he split the net at home to Newcastle in a draw.

Soucek had his most productive year in England in the 2020/2021 season, his debut season in a West Ham jersey. Back then, he scored 10 goals and added 1 goal assist.

His teammate Vladimír Coufal also played against Nottingham, but he only received a yellow card.

Coach David Moyes continues to put his cards on the central defender this season, which only makes the domestic fans happy. Coufal has always played the full 90 minutes in the last 5 matches.

Both players will be the mainstay for the national team, which has the last 2 most important matches in the EURO 2024 qualification. First on 17 November in Poland, then on 20 November in Olomouc against the Moldovans.
