West Ham United manager David Moyes was left delighted by midfielder Lucas Paqueta after his role in the Hammers’ 1-0 win over Southampton at the London Stadium on Sunday.
The Hammers sealed victory over relegation-threatened rivals Saints at the London Stadium, with Nayef Aguerd’s first-half header enough to secure three points and take them five places up the table from 19th to 14th, moving them clear of the relegation zone by a point.
While £30million summer signing Aguerd will take the plaudits after his first goal in England and keeping a clean sheet, one of West Ham’s unsung heroes in the game was Brazilian £35.6million acquisition Paqueta, who made ten tackles in the game, the most for West Ham in a Premier League match since October 2012.
