Vladimir Coufal sends brilliant message after West Ham win v Aston Villa
Vladimir Coufal has sent a heartfelt message on Twitter after West Ham won 2-1 against Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League.
The Hammers returned to winning ways after three consecutive defeats in all competitions, but most importantly they have kept their top-four hopes alive.
Andriy Yarmolenko and Pablo Fornals scored for the Hammers to secure all three important points.
Coufal, who is currently out injured, has paid tribute to Yarmolenko and wrote a message for him on Twitter.
He wrote: “No one deserves that more than you bro.”
Emotional
It was an emotional moment for the Ukrainian striker and every West Ham player as well.
He came on in the second half as a substitute for Michail Antonio and made an instant impact. He scored a spectacular goal in the second half after Said Benrahma found him in the box.
The 32-year—old striker hit the volley neatly with his left foot, showing his great presence of mind in the box. The momentum shifted after that and the Hammers played with more freedom, flair, and confidence.
After he scored the goal, the striker simply broke down. After the end of the match, he collapsed on the pitch, and every player hugged him and let him know that they are with Ukraine in these tough times.
The Hammers will have to switch attention to Europa League as they face Sevilla in the second leg of the round of 16.
David Moyes’ side are trailing 1-0 from the first leg, and they could be missing several key players for this game due to injuries.
In other West Ham news, this 29-year-old from the EFL is another central defender that Moyes is reportedly interested in signing ahead of next season.
