Vladimir Coufal shares reaction after West Ham 2-0 win v Rapid Vienna
Vladimir Coufal has shared his reaction on Twitter after West Ham secured their place in the Europa League last 16 with a win against Rapid Vienna.
Goals from Andriy Yarmolenko and Mark Noble secured a 2-0 win for David Moyes’s side on Thursday.
The match was played behind the closed door in Austria, and Coufal has been left disappointed that the Hammers fans were not there to witness their brilliant win.
Coufal wrote on Twitter: “Last 16 in Europa League. good job boys. So disappointing our fans couldn’t be here with us.”
What a campaign!
Coufal was brilliant during the match. He was solid defensively and had a shot on target as well.
The right-back has lost his place in the team to young Ben Johnson, but this performance will give Moyes huge encouragement.
With this victory, the Hammers are now guaranteed to win Group H with a game to spare.
West Ham had already secured a passage to the next round after picking up 10 points from their opening four games. The latest victory ensured they finish top of the group.
Moyes can now give chances to fringe players and make a wholesome change to the squad for the final game.
The run in the Europa League is their best performance in the European competition since 1980-81, and it goes to show what an amazing job Moyes has done so far.
The focus will now shift back to the Premier League, where West Ham will face Premier League champions Manchester City in their next game on Sunday.
