Tomáš Souček gave new baby son Daniel the perfect present by scoring the opening goal in West Ham United’s 2-0 Premier League victory at Manchester United on Sunday.
Just three days after the midfielder and wife Natálie welcomed their third child into the world, Souček converted Mohammed Kudus’s low cross to secure the Hammers’ first top-flight victory at Old Trafford since May 2007.
The 30-year-old’s clever backheeled finish on 26 minutes was his ninth of the season and 41st since joining from Slavia Prague in January 2020, and one he celebrated with close friend and compatriot Vladimír Coufal, who will leave the Club when his contract expires in June.
And the Claret and Blue Army were in dreamland 12 minutes into the second half when Jarrod Bowen converted former Manchester United player Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s low cross to double West Ham’s lead – a lead we would hold until full-time to climb above our hosts and Tottenham Hotspur and reach 40 points for the season.
