Lucas Paqueta scores for the win of West Ham against Olympiakos

West Ham secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Olympiakos in the Europa League, with Lucas Paqueta scoring the winner after VAR intervention.

Requiring only a point from their remaining two matches to secure at least second place in Group A, West Ham faced challenges breaking down Olympiakos. In the 73rd minute, James Ward-Prowse delivered a precise pass, leading to Paqueta’s volleyed goal initially ruled offside but later reversed by VAR.

Despite a late chance for Olympiakos with Mady Camara hitting the post from a close-range header, West Ham manager David Moyes expressed satisfaction with the result. Moyes praised Paqueta’s goal and acknowledged Olympiakos as a seasoned European team.

Here is what he says to TNT Sports: “I’m really pleased we got the result because that was most important. We didn’t play as well as we’d have liked but Olympiakos are a decent team, a well-seasoned European team that are used to coming away and being in these competitions – more so than we are.

“We made the best chances, they didn’t make too many opportunities to score. It was a little bit hairy a couple of times right at the end but apart from that we controlled most of it.

“It was a lovely ball from James (Ward-Prowse) and also the finish. We’d have two or three chances we didn’t take. We didn’t have many but in these games you don’t get too many.

“Thankfully, Lucas (Paqueta) came up with the goal. I’m pleased with him as well because there are a lot of things he does that go unnoticed. He did a lot of things tonight that weren’t as good as I’d have liked but the goal made up for it.”
