Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has sent a message to Lucas Paqueta on social media after West Ham beat Arsenal last night.

The Hammers put in an exceptional performance at the London Stadium and booked their place in the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

David Moyes’ men ran out deserved 3-1 winners on the night thanks to a Ben White own goal, a Mohammed Kudus stunner and a deflected Jarrod Bowen goal.

There were some exceptional performances across the pitch for West Ham and Lucas Paqueta put in yet another encouraging display.

The Brazil international started in the No10 position and looked more comfortable pulling the strings further up the pitch.

His excellent run at the start of the second-half created a chance for Bowen and it’s fair to say he’s impressed his international teammate Vinicius Jr.

Paqueta took to after last night’s game and expressed his delight at picking up a massive win over Arsenal.

He wrote: “Glory to God for the victory! Another special night! Let’s go.”

And Vinicius Jr responded with two heart emojis beneath the post.

Paqueta has starred for West Ham since becoming their club-record signing for a fee worth last summer.

The 26-year-old has even received interest from Premier League champions Manchester City.

He played a key role in West Ham’s Europa Conference League success last time out and he’s picked up where he left off this season.

West Ham will probably face a fight to keep hold of the midfielder for the long-term future. But for the time being, he remains an integral part of Moyes’ side.

The Brazil international once again showed his quality last night and provided a calming presence on the ball for the Hammers.
