While his goal may prove to be the match-winner on the night, there was something extra special about his finish.

2 - Tomás Soucek (27th February 2022 & 2025) is one of just two players in Premier League history to score a goal on his birthday in two different years along with Teddy Sheringham (2nd April 1994 & 1995). Returns.
– Thursday, 27 February 2025

This was the second time that the Havlíčkův Brod-born midfielder found the back of the net on the day of his birth, becoming just one of only two Premier League players to ever achieve that feat, joining former Hammer Teddy Sheringham in the process.

Happy birthday, indeed!
