Newcastle United ace Bruno Guimaraes sends message to Lucas Paqueta after what happened in West Ham United v Wolves
Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has sent a message to West Ham star Lucas Paqueta following his display against Wolves.
The Hammers man assisted all three goals as West Ham defeated Wolves 3-0 at the London Stadium on Sunday (17 December).
Mohammed Kudus bagged the first two goals in the first half, with Jarrod Bowen completing the rout in the second half.
Paqueta took to social media to celebrate the feat, posting on Instagram (17 December): “Glory to God for today, hat-trick of assists, the second Brazilian to accomplish this feat in the history of Brazil. Massive once again.”
Among those replying to the post was Newcastle man and Paqueta’s fellow Brazilian Guimaraes, who wrote: “History in the making!! Well done buddy.”
Stunning display
It really was a superb display from the Brazilian, who lit up the London Stadium against Wolves with his goal-creating ability.
Summer signing Kudus is deservedly getting much of the attention following his brace, with Bowen also in the limelight after yet another goal in claret and blue this season.
But Paqueta deserves plenty of credit for his key role at the London Stadium, with the Brazilian really enjoying his football at this moment in time.
His displays are certainly catching the eye, with Paqueta impressing both offensively and defensively under manager David Moyes.
The routine win means West Ham now sit eighth in the Premier League table, one point behind Manchester United in seventh and two behind Newcastle in sixth.
But their attention now turns to the League Cup, with the Hammers travelling to Anfield to take on Liverpool in the quarter-final of the competition on Wednesday (20 December).
In other West Ham news, Daniel Sturridge and Roy Keane were in agreement over an incident in the match against Wolves, with a “WWE” verdict shared.
