Three observations from West Ham's thrilling win over Celta Vigo

Lucas Paqueta

West Ham fans were excited for this Celta Vigo game as it was Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta's first appearance for West Ham in this preseason. Manager Julen Lopetegui started Bowen, Paqueta as well as Mohammed Kudus as the creative playmakers behind Michail Antonio as the centre forward.

It took only six minutes for West Ham to open the scoring as Paqueta placed the ball in the path of Bowen who scored the goal. At the half an hour mark, Bowen and Paqueta combined again for the second goal. This time Bowen assisted Paqueta who scored the goal to give West Ham the lead again at 2-1.

This was a great game from both Bowen and Paqueta with Lucas Paqueta winning the Man of the Match award as well. West Ham fans are excited for the trio of Bowen, Paqueta and Kudus along with Fullkrug as the new centre forward ahead of the upcoming season.
