"It was an important reaction. We knew tonight would tough, we were a bit frustrated with how we performed over there (in Greece). So there was a bit of fire in the belly tonight, we dug deep in the second half and got a good goal in the end."

Lucas Paqueta volleyed a superb winner as West Ham maintained their spot at the summit of UEFA Europa League Group A with a 1-0 victory over Olympiacos at the London Stadium.

David Moyes’s side were looking for a strong response following their defeat against the same opponents in Greece two weeks earlier, but The Irons had to endure long spells of frustration before finally breaching a stubborn visiting rearguard.

Defender Nayef Aguerd had the best of their first-half opportunities with a trio of headers off corners that all failed to find the net.

The hosts laboured following the interval with James Ward-Prowse’s miss-hit strike the best they could muster until Paqueta swept home on the volley with 17 minutes remaining. The goal was initially ruled out for offside, but the VAR check showed the Brazilian’s late run was timed to perfection.

The result means The Hammers maintain top spot in the pool in nine points, ahead of Freiburg due to a better head-to-head record. Olympiacos are third on four points with Backa Topola on one.

Next up, West Ham host Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday. Olympiacos visit Asteras Tripolis in the Greek Superleague. 

CARLTON COLE: "It's not been a good month of football for West Ham, but this will put them in the right mood. Getting the points on the table and back to winning ways was imperative."

JOE COLE: (The goal was down to... ) Two absolutely quality players; a moment of magic. West Ham look like a team low in confidence and laboured at times. They were trying to do the right things, but in the end they stayed in the game, were the better side and it came down to one moment of quality from two outstanding players."
