Tomáš Souček celebrated his 27th birthday by shooting West Ham United to a 1-0 Premier League victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Czech Republic international was in the right place at the right time to prod Michail Antonio’s cross past José Sá 59 minutes into a game the Hammers dominated and should arguably have won by a more comfortable margin.
As it was, David Moyes will settle for a single-goal victory that extends West Ham’s unbeaten run to five matches and took his team onto 45 points – level with Arsenal and just two behind Manchester United – and back up into fifth place.
