AdminWest Ham United secured a 2-0 victory over Wycombe in a friendly today, with one of their experienced midfielders making an immediate impact on his return to action.
The Hammers took control of the game and found the breakthrough through a well-taken finish from the returning midfielder, before Joel Piroe added a second goal to complete the scoring.
The player in question was Tomas Soucek, who was handed an opportunity to get valuable minutes under his belt and responded in the best possible way by finding the back of the net.
The Czech Republic international has been an important figure at West Ham since joining the club, regularly contributing with his defensive work, physical presence and goals from midfield.
His latest strike will be particularly encouraging as he continues to build his fitness and sharpness.
Soucek’s ability to arrive in dangerous areas has often made him a threat inside the opposition penalty area, and he once again demonstrated that quality against Wycombe.
Piroe’s second-half contribution ensured there was no late drama, with West Ham comfortably seeing out the remainder of the contest.
The friendly provided valuable playing time for several members of the squad, particularly those looking to impress and work their way into Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans.
For Soucek, though, the afternoon will be remembered for his goal and positive return, giving West Ham another reason to be pleased with the outing.
