David Moyes has praised Lucas Paquetá after his outstanding performance which led West Ham to victory against Freiburg in Germany. The England manager was delighted with the Brazilian midfielder’s performance in the Hammers’ second successive Europa League victory.
Paquetá was man of the match on Thursday evening. He opened the scoring with a superb diving header and delivered an overall performance of a very high level. Moyes admitted that the 25-year-old can sometimes anger him with his unconventional style, but it is clear that his talent is undeniable. “He is an artist, a true maverick. You have to accept his unpredictable side,” said the Scottish manager.

Thanks to this 2-1 success in Germany, West Ham took sole lead of Group A with 6 points. The Hammers are now 17 consecutive matches unbeaten in European Cups, setting a new record for an English club.
Moyes was understandably delighted with this historic performance. “It’s a fantastic achievement, especially away against a tough opponent like Freiburg. We must continue this momentum,” he said.
Paquetá’s performance once again proved his international class. Since his arrival in London this summer, the Brazilian has brought all his fantasy to the field. Moyes seems to have found the key to channeling his maverick’s talent while allowing his creativity to express itself.
