For a long time it seemed that the Premier League newcomer from Burnley would take some of those points, if not their full number. Five minutes before the end of regular time, they were leading by one goal after Jay Rodriguez scored from a penalty shortly after the break.
“Already at halftime we were not satisfied with the fact that we were presenting ourselves with a slow game. And then we cashed in and made everything more difficult,” lamented Souček. At the end of the match, however, the Hammers managed a spectacular turnaround. Thanks to Burnley defender Dar O’Shea’s patriotism and Souček’s finish, they finally celebrated the long-awaited win.
The captain of the Czech national football team indicated that West Ham was mainly helped by mental strength “When they were still in the lead, Burnley kicked a corner. I told the boys that we have to improve and keep believing. We managed to do that, only thanks to a good attitude and self-belief we were able to win all the points,” said Součka.
The 28-year-old footballer, who is decorated with an absolutely top-notch selection of space in the center of the field, managed to be among the scorers in the fourth game in a row. Even before the national team break, he helped to win 3:2 over Nottingham, for the national team he scored an accurate strike against Poland (1:1) and Moldova (3:0), thereby making a significant contribution to direct progress to the upcoming European Championship in Germany. Now his sense of goals has also been taken away by Burnley.
“Nice to meet you. I scored against Nottingham and scored two important goals for the Czech Republic. Then I came back from the national team and scored another winning goal. Just great,” Souček recapitulated his last, extremely successful weeks.

“Tomáš is doing great. He has already scored six times this season, which is a great record,” coach David Moyes praised the former Slavia or Liberec player. “We like to bet on players in form, which he certainly ranks among at the moment,” added the Scottish coach.
The triumph on the field of the last Burnley catapulted West Ham to the ninth place of the Premier League, i.e. to its top half. “We needed this win. It moved us higher in the table, but we still have a lot of games ahead of us. We have to work hard,” concluded Souček.
