Souček shone again. With a goal, he helped defeat West Ham in the fight to save Watford

The London club has almost some salvation. West Ham has a six-point lead two times before the end and a significantly better score than the 18th Bournemouth and the penultimate Aston Villa.

In the event of rescue, the “Hammers” should automatically exercise the option on Souček and turn his hosting from Prague’s Slavia into a transfer. The Czech champion should collect over 400 million crowns for the player. Souček, whose hosting cost West Ham for 113 million crowns, would thus become the most expensive Czech football player in history.

West Ham had a great introduction in the key rescue battle. In the sixth minute, Mikhail Antonio opened the score and continued his four-goal performance in the previous duel against Norwich. Four minutes later, Souček hit the head and scored his third goal in the last five Premier League games. Declan Rice insured the leadership of the “Hammers” before the break with a beautiful shot.

Shortly after the change of sides, Troy Deeney reduced the lead, but Watford did not change any other chances. After the second loss in a row, he approached the descent to three points, on the contrary, to the fifteenth West Ham, for which captain Mark Noble entered the five-hundredth match today, it is enough to play a point in the remaining two matches to be sure.
