Video: Sensational start for West Ham as Lucas Paqueta strikes against Freiburg
After just eight minutes of their Europa League Round of 16 second leg tie, West Ham went ahead against Freiburg on the night – and level on aggregate – thanks to talisman, Lucas Paqueta.
The Brazilian peeled off to the back post after a corner and wasn’t picked up, and he was able to slide the ball home.
It won’t be the best goal that Paqueta will score in his career, but it could be hugely important for the Irons.
The goal certainly woke up the Hammers faithful too, with the London Stadium faithful going crazy.
