Premier League: Ten-man West Ham stun Chelsea

Image
 West Ham United 3 - 1 Chelsea It was a memorable afternoon at the London Stadium for West Ham fans. Even though West Ham United played nearly 30 minutes with 10 men, they completed a rousing London derby against Chelsea. In the 67th minute, Hammers defender Nayef Aguerd, who opened the scoring with a header, was sent off for his second bookable offence. However, Chelsea couldn't force an equaliser and conceded a late third through Lucas Paqueta's penalty in the fifth minute of added time. <More Chelsea news and stories> How it all happened Agued scored for West Ham in the 7th minute to give the home side the lead. In front of a passionate crowd at The London Stadium, Chelsea then dominated possession but they struggled to take advantage until Carney Chukwuemeka scored his first goal for the Blues to make it 1-1.  Enzo Fernandez wasted a chance to put them ahead when his penalty was saved by Alphonse Areola. With a powerful angled strike in the 53rd minute, Michail A...

Plenty of shocks in the 2nd round of the Carabao Cup

For the early stages of the competition, there has been plenty of drama Let's have a closer look at some of the biggest talking points Author | Josh D Grimsby Town 2 - 2 Manchester United (Grimsby Town won 12-11 on penalties) We had to start here didn't we? United crashed out of the Carabao Cup in humiliating fashion after a marathon penalty shootout defeat to League Two Grimsby Town. United press for a goal Amorim's side had looked to have salvaged the night after a shambolic first half in which they fell two goals behind, with returning goalkeeper AndrĂ© Onana badly at fault for Grimsby’s second. Bryan Mbeumo came off the bench to halve the deficit before Harry Maguire struck a stoppage-time equaliser. The tie then went to penalties and United faltered again. Matheus Cunha failed to convert their fifth kick and, after Mbeumo struck the crossbar with his second effort, Grimsby sealed a remarkable 12-11 win that sent jubilant fans pouring on to the pitch.

Premier League: Villa and Newcastle both win opening day fixtures

Image
Aston Villa and Newcastle both won their opening-day fixtures. Let's explore what happened West Ham United 1 - 2 Aston Villa Substitute Jhon Duran clinched a late victory for Aston Villa as they kicked off their Premier League season with a win at West Ham. Duran seized onto Jacob Ramsey's pass and coolly tucked the ball into the bottom corner with just 11 minutes left, shortly after rumours circulated that the Hammers had made two unsuccessful bids for the striker. Amadou Onana marked his Villa debut in style, heading home Youri Tielemans' corner after just four minutes when the Belgian midfielder was left unmarked in the box. West Ham levelled the score before half-time when Matty Cash was deemed to have fouled Tomas Soucek during a tussle in the box. Lucas Paqueta converted the penalty, sending Emiliano Martinez the wrong way with a stuttered run-up as he slotted the ball into the bottom left corner. However, Duran ultimately had the final word, ensuring Villa's ...

Premier League: Brighton hold West Ham to a 0-0 draw

Image
 West Ham United 0 - 0 Brighton & Hove Albion This match marked the first occasion in 24 league matches that Brighton didn't concede a goal, putting an end to a record-setting streak for the club. For West Ham, they would have been hoping to build on their wins over Manchester United and Arsenal but will ultimately be delighted with their points return over the Christmas and New Year period.  Brighton enjoyed more possession and created better chances in what was largely a dull game to kick off 2024 for both teams at London Stadium . The first half lacked quality and opportunities, with West Ham coming closest to scoring as Jason Steele saved James Ward-Prowse's powerful volley with his legs. Jack Hinshelwood and Pascal Gross of Brighton were both thwarted by Alphonse Areola, the home keeper, with point-blank stops.
