Crystal Palace 0-2 West Ham – Soucek and Bowen earn Hammers first win under Lopetegui

By Total Football News

West Ham were perhaps a little unfortunate to come away empty handed from last weekend’s game against Aston Villa, but they rode their luck at Selhurst Park – particularly in the first half – to claim a confidence-boosting three points.

Antonio nodded Soucek’s flick-on wide of the near post and Kudus struck the side-netting as the visitors started brightly, but they failed to register a shot on target in the

By Total Football News

Crystal Palace striker Eberechi Eze said the referee told him he made an error as the official’s “monumental mistake” denied the forward a brilliant goal in his side’s loss to Brentford.

Eze found the net directly from a wide free-kick with the match goalless, but referee Sam Barrott had already given a foul after Will Hughes clashed with Nathan Collins.

With the whistle blown before the ball entered the goal,

Brentford start season with late win over Palace

By Total Football News

Brentford’s win came despite manager Thomas Frank telling Sky Sports before kick-off that Toney had been left out of the squad because of “transfer interest” in the England striker.

Asked if Toney has already played his last match for Brentford, Frank said: “Who knows? There is interest. It’s not close.”

If Toney was to leave, replacing his goal threat is likely to be a talking point throughout Brentford’s season.
