Tomas Soucek continued his superb scoring run to snatch a vital victory on a freezing night in Serbia as West Ham secured their place in the Europa League knockout stage.
Soucek’s 89th-minute winner, the Czech’s fifth goal in as many matches for club and country, was the only goal of a drab affair but a 1-0 win over bottom side Backa Topola crucially keeps David Moyes’s men top of Group A heading into the final round of fixtures.
