Pablo Felipe was among the many West Ham United players to congratulate Taty Castellanos on his first Premier League goal for the club.
Both strikers have played a role in helping West Ham United turn things around in recent weeks.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are now looking up the Premier League table and could yet catch Nottingham Forest to secure safety.
Indeed, West Ham beat Burnley 2-0 on Saturday and Castellanos bagged his first Premier League goal.
Who are you starting in goal against Manchester United?! 🧤
The Argentine had previously scored while clad in claret and blue, although that was against QPR in the FA Cup last month.
Pablo is yet to open his account. That is not a criticism of the forward, but he will need to start improving that aspect of his game at some point reasonably soon.
Still, such is the unity among the West Ham squad right now, he and his teammates were delighted for Taty.
West Ham players celebrate on social media after Taty Castellanos scores first Premier League goal
After the game, Taty uploaded a collage of images from Turf Moor on Instagram and captioned it: “Great work from everyone.
“I’m really happy to have scored my goal and to have been able to help the team. Now let’s focus on the next training session I hope to see you at London Stadium on Tuesday.”
Pablo responded with: “Matador.”
Mateus Fernandes, meanwhile, wrote: “Let’s goooo dude!”
Serious question – are you taking a peak Mateus Fernandes or a peak Lucas Paqueta in your dream midfield?!
The Premier League record West Ham are closing in on after Taty Castellanos scores
Castellanos did score a fine header after an excellent cross from El Hadji Malick Diouf, but it was Crysenscio Summerville who really opened the game up with the first strike on the day.
To take nothing away from the former Lazio forward, his header probably won’t live long in the memory.
It does bring West Ham closer to an interesting Premier League record, however.

According to Opta, Castellanos became the 180th different player to score a Premier League goal for West Ham.
The only club who have had more players score for them in the competition’s history is Tottenham (181).
As such, if the likes of Pablo, Adama Traore or Axel Disasi score against Manchester United on Tuesday, the Hammers could draw level.
