Lucas Paqueta News: Scores goal from spot

Written by RotoWire Staff

Paqueta scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Paqueta had West Ham's best first-half chance, a strike tipped over by Matz Sels, then calmly slotted a late penalty kick to secure the win for the Hammers. The spot kick followed Crysencio Summerville being tripped after a driving run. Paqueta also created two chances in open play and was central to the visitors' late surge, contributing in defense with two tackles, three clearances and two blocks. The Brazilian's celebration after his goal suggests he will remain at West Ham for the 2025/26 season.
