Thank you, potato salad king! Soucek receives a huge ovation from the West Ham fans for another decisive goal. Here’s a look at the best reactions

Tomas Soucek proved it again. With his goal late in the Europa League match, he saved West Ham’s poorest of victories against Serbia’s TSC. The man who was thrown out of the club by his own fans last season is once again becoming an idol. Let’s take a look at the best reactions to the Czech international’s next parade.

Tomas Soucek as the king of the end of the match

The outlaw has once again become the crowd’s favourite. Last year he was thrown out of the club, now he is being praised. He has been showing incredible form in recent weeks and once again saved his team’s win at the very end of the match.

Tomas Soucek didn’t have the best of times on the islands last season. Compared to the first seasons when he captivated West Ham fans with his performances, he played more from deep midfield and after a series of not so good performances he came under criticism from the media and the club’s supporters.

However, with the new season came a completely changed player. After the arrival of James Ward-Prowse from Southampton and Edson Álvarez from Ajax Amsterdam, he was given more freedom in the central formation. And the position closer to the opponent’s goal suited the Czech international.

Thursday’s goal in the Serbian TSC net was his seventh in all competitions. He then transferred his scoring form to the national team, scoring in Poland and in the last EURO qualifying match against Moldova.

Although the game against the Serbian minnows was not one of the most successful ones, both for West Ham as a whole and for the Czech midfielder. However, the 89th minute goal decided West Ham’s closest victory. And it certainly wasn’t an isolated affair.

And the decisive goal was also duly celebrated on the club’s social media. So let’s take a look at the best reactions on the club’s official Twitter account.

“He saved us again,” wrote Misfit38. “Thank you, potato salad king,” alluded to a video of the Czech national team answering questions on a variety of subjects, in this case, their favourite food.

“Sign this man,” K Si alluded to the fact that Soucek is out of contract at West Ham at the end of this season. “Gives it 110% every time out, the czech goat gives us goals when we need them most.”

“The dude keeps Moyes in a job,” wrote a user named Random Person. He was reacting to manager David Moyes coming under fire from his own fans during October and it is the Czech midfielder’s goals that keep him afloat.

“Make a statue of him and put it outside the London Stadium,” said Argo fan Iman. And he certainly wasn’t the only one.

“We don’t deserve him, ” went fan Toby.
