On This Day: Souček strike tames Wolves

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, in association with Heineken...

Tomáš Souček celebrated his 27th birthday by shooting West Ham United to a 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on this day in 2022.

The Czech Republic international was in the right place at the right time to prod Michail Antonio’s cross past José Sá 59 minutes into a game the Hammers dominated and should arguably have won by a more comfortable margin.

As it was, David Moyes settled for a single-goal victory that extended West Ham’s unbeaten run to five matches and took his team onto 45 points – level with Arsenal and just two behind Manchester United – and back up into fifth place in the Premier League table.

Watch the goal again in the video player above.
