This year’s Boxing Day was completely different than any other. Because of this, Liverpool vs Leeds United, Wolverhampton vs Watford and Burnley vs Everton were postponed. In addition, due to the positive results of the tests for COVID-19 on the coaching benches of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, there were no and respectively. There were no changes in the West Ham game against Southampton – Łukasz Fabiański and Jan Bednarek came out in the base line-up of their teams.
Jan Bednarek the hero of Southampton. The defender defeated Łukasz Fabiański. “But so fellow countryman?”
The game against Southampton was played at high intensity from the outset. The saints took the lead in the eighth minute after a goal by Mohamed Elyounoussi and did not give him away until the end of the first half. At the start of the second half of the game, Michail Antonio equalized, and James Ward-Prowse responded from the penalty spot. In the 65th minute, Said Benrahm even equalized the game again and it seemed that such a result could remain to the end.

In the 70th minute Southampton had a free kick from the left side of the field. James Ward-Prowse crossed the ball towards Jan Bednarek, taking advantage of Craig Dawson’s and Tomas Souck’s mistake by defeating with a header. “But balls. He has more league goals since,” one Southampton supporter noted on Twitter. “Every day I would take Bednarek to West Ham,” wrote a Hammers fan.
Southampton thus beat West Ham United 3-2 on Boxing Day to move up to 14th place in the table. The Hammers, on the other hand, are out of the European cups and are losing a point to the player who played two games less. It was the second goal of the season for Jan Bednarek. Earlier, the defender hit against Leicester City. .
