West Ham United manager David Moyes says there was "never any doubt" about playing Brazil midfielder Lucas Paqueta in the 3-1 win against Chelsea.
But he was lively against Chelsea and scored a late penalty to seal the win.
"He's a solid and tough character, so no problems," said Moyes.
"I thought 65,000 people stood to their feet and applauded him the whole game because of what he did.
"He went the whole way, played as well as anybody, showed character, never hid away from the ball ever. His performance was very, very good, especially in the second half.
