Jamie Carragher called West Ham star Lucas Paqueta ’embarrassing’ during the Hammers’ Premier League clash against Aston Villa. Sunday’s fixture at Villa Park threatened to boil over as the game approached half-time as several players clashed.

There was a time when Lucas Paqueta would only fleetingly show the offensive traits that made him a valuable asset to West Ham United. But two games into the Graham Potter era and those redeeming features are now the norm rather than an exception.

West Ham midfielder Lucas Paqueta has taken to socail media to send a message to the fans after their win over Fulham.

Emerson’s powerful second-half header earned West Ham United a valuable Premier League point on the road at Aston Villa on Sunday. The Hammers fell behind to Aaron Ramsey’s eighth-minute goal, but stuck to their task and secured a 1-1 draw when the wing-back headed Edson Álvarez’s cross in at the far post with 20 minutes to play.

Graham Potter worked his magic as West Ham beat Fulham 3-2 in his first home game in charge. Goals from Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta secured a first Premier League victory for Potter, who took over from the sacked Julen Lopetegui last week.

On Lucas Paqueta's performance: "He was a real handful. You can play into him because he's so strong. Really pleased for him, really good performance and he worked so hard for the team. We've got a few [players to come back which is positive for us. The group wants to work."
