      Man Utd 1 FC Twente 1: Erik ten Hag let down by flops once again as Christian Eriksen goes from hero to zero

      by

      ERIK TEN HAG was left frustrated as Manchester United failed to kill off a game again.It has become a recurring theme under the boss.Christian Eriksen was the Jekyll and Hyde double act for Man Utd against FC TwenteCredit: EPAEriksen rifled home the opener near the end of the first halfCredit: GettySam Lammers slotted home a second-half equaliserCredit: GettyBefore the game he had urged his players to find that lethal touch in the box to finish teams off.But despite having 19 efforts at goal only five were on target and one of them was from a Twente playerThey had failed to take chances in the goalless draw at Crystal Palace at the weekend too.New coach Ruud van Nistelrooy is still to work his magic on the Carrington training pitches.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLOn top from a Christian Eriksen strike on 35 minutes, it seemed they were going to have the perfect start against Ten Hag’s former club in this Europa League opener.He had said before the game “it is not nice to have to hurt something you love” as he sensed victory against the team he played for in three spells and still supports.But they were the one’s breaking his heart with a second-half equaliser to share the points through Sam Lammers.There was a nice touch before the game when Steve McClaren was presented with a commemorative plaque on the pitch by Sir Alex Ferguson.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSMcClaren was of course Ferguson’s assistant in that amazing treble season of 1998-99 and has just left the club after his second spell to become boss of Jamaica.More importantly for the lively visiting fans, he was FC Twente coach when they won their first and only Dutch title in 2009-10.Man Utd fans hail boss Erik ten Hag for having ‘a better touch than Hojlund’ after spotting mad ball skills in trainingHe was given a rousing reception by them as they chanted his name.They very nearly had something else to celebrate early in the game when Diogo Dalot lost out to Bart van Rooij, who crossed into the six yard box.Lammers got the slightest of touches to deflect wide and beyond Andre Onana but the ball ran just wide of the far post.Marcus Rashford was back in the team after being left out the starting line up for the game at Selhurst Park.It was a surprise move given that he had scored three goals in two games.And it brought much comment from pundit’s to the annoyance of Erik ten Hag, who has emphasised his need to rotate with so many games coming thick and fast.Rashford showed that he felt he had a point to prove not just to Ten Hag but interim England boss Lee Carsley, who was in the stands.His form last season saw him lose out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s Euros squad, but Carsley has already proved he is prepared to give players another chance.The forward looked lively from the start, tearing down the left flank as Amad Diallo did likewise down the right.Marcus Rashford looked bright throughoutCredit: AlamyWhile Joshua Zirkzee struggled to have a huge influence on the gameCredit: PAHe was full of tricks, with one nutmeg drawing huge cheers.In the 26th minute, there was very nearly a bizarre own goal in United’s favour.When Lisandro Martinez thumped a header across goal towards Zirkzee, Mees Hilgers intervened with a flick.But it forced his goalkeeper Lars Unnerstall into an incredible save to prevent the ball nestling in his top corner.The Red Devils then took the lead through a fabulous strike from Eriksen.Bruno Fernandes played the ball into the box for Diogo Dalot and, when he was challenged, it broke loose.Eriksen was first on the scene with a first-time drive that flew into the far top corner.United were in the ascendancy but Ten Hag will have wanted them to press that advantage home.Diallo tried to do just that as he turned on the afterburners and tore into the box to win a corner soon after the break.Lammers thundered an effort past Andre OnanaCredit: APThere were jubilant celebrations from the Dutch sideCredit: GettyEriksen swung it over and, when Harry Maguire met it with his head, the ball was blocked and fell back to the United centre-back whose volley was straight at the goalkeeper.Rashford was having a good night and went on to dispossess Youri Regeer and run half the length of the pitch before he found Eriksen, who fed Noussair Mazraoui.The move broke down, however, as United’s new full-back played a chipped cross that found nobody. Too many moves broke down.Lisandro Martinez reminded everybody why he was nicknamed ‘The Butcher of Amsterdam’ in his time at Ajax when he took out Sam Steijn 30 yards from United’s goal.It earned him a booking and the visitors a free kick.Steijn picked himself up to take it and his low shot around the wall almost crept into the far corner, but was kept out by Onana’s finger tips.However, United failed to heed the warning and Twente drew level in the 67th minute.Bart Van Rooij charged through the United ranks before an interception from Manuel Ugarte.The ball broke to Eriksen, who thought he had more time than he did.The Dane then saw his pocket picked by Lammers, who charged into the box and fired home at Onana’s near post.READ MORE SUN STORIESIn injury time, a Maguire header was saved brilliantly on the line by UnnerstallBack to the drawing board, again.Kobbie Mainoo had a late penalty appeal waved awayCredit: ReutersHarry Maguire forced a late scare with an injury time headerCredit: PAMan Utd player ratings vs FC TwenteMANCHESTER UNITED’S Europa League campaign got off to a less than ideal start with a miserable 1-1 draw against FC Twente at Old Trafford.That result dealt a big blow to their chances of finishing in the top eight and avoiding two extra fixtures.See how the players rated on an underwhelming night at Old Trafford.Andre Onana – 6Good save to push a free-kick from Sem Steijn to safety but might be disappointed to be beaten at the near post for Twente’s goal.Diogo Dalot – 6Early mistake near the corner flag could have been costly but he caused problems at the other end in build up to Christian Eriksen goal.Harry Maguire – 6Missed his tackle to put United on the back foot for the equaliser but almost won it late on with a header cleared off the line.Lisandro Martinez – 7Made several important clearances but one wild challenge on edge of his box could have proven costly.Noussair Mazraoui – 6New boy looks solid. Vital early tackle and another one later to stop Twente going in front.Christian Eriksen – 7Fourth successive start – and the veteran still looked sprightly. What a strike to give United the lead but then spoiled it with mistake for equaliser.Manuel Ugarte – 6A few good tackles from the new boy but might be disappointed not to clear his lines as Twente broke away for equaliser.Marcus Rashford – 8Much improved display in front of watching England interim boss Lee Carsley. Full of energy, a few tricks and a couple of dangerous crosses. More like his old self.Bruno Fernandes – 6Skipper had a hand in the opening goal and was so close to winning it with curler from the edge of the box.Amad Diallo – 6His pace was too much to handle for the visitors at times but not much of an end product this time and made way for Alejandro Garnacho midway through the second half.Joshua Zirkzee – 5A few good moments and forced a flying save from the visitors’ keeper after nice link up with Diogo Dalot – but then hooked for the fit-again Rasmus Hojlund.Find out how the Man Utd subs rated here More

      Liverpool 5 West Ham 1: Hammers gifted early lead but made to pay for mistakes by Arne Slot’s classy forwards

      by

      MO SALAH got the job done for Arne Slot in yet another Liverpool display that will have left the new boss thinking that his glass was only half full.The scoreline may suggest that West Ham was overpowered by the ten–time winners.Diogo Jota netted a brace to send Liverpool through against West HamCredit: GettyJarell Quansah’s own goal handed West Ham the leadCredit: PADiogo Jota levelled the tie for LiverpoolCredit: RexMohamed Salah wrapped up the resultCredit: GettyBut until Salah popped up to claim his fourth goal of the campaign in the 74th minute, Slot will have felt far from comfortable.Edson Alvarez was then red-carded and from that point on it all turned into a cakewalk with Cody Gakpo bagging a double.The Hammers took a 21st-minute lead before Diogo Jota’s brace put his side ahead, but for quite a while, there were plenty of anxious faces on the Kop.Slot made nine changes from the side that beat Bournemouth 3 – 0 at the weekend and but the start still portrayed a worrying trend for him.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLOnce again there was a sluggish start, once again his rear guard looked vulnerable.The Hammers, with only three retained from the team that was battered 3-0 by Chelsea, created a collection of early frights.And in the 18th minute, former Red Danny Ings netted, only for his strike to be ruled offside.Slot went into his first Carabao Cup clash as Anfield boss, admitting that while his first six games in charge had seen only two goals conceded, he wasn’t that convinced.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSJulen Lopetegui’s side is very much not in the top half, yet three minutes after Ings’ disappointment, they were ahead amidst a shambles in front of Kelleher.Aaron Cresswell’s corner caused panic in the home box, ending with a hack from left-back Kostas Tsimikas that flew in off Jarrell Quansah’s shin.Jamie Carragher names all-time Liverpool XI with Match of the Day legend, Steven Gerrard and no room for Luis SuarezSlot would have been fretting, even if Jota did collect the equaliser in the 25th minute.Gakpo swung in a cross from the left, met by Federico Chiesa, given his full debut after arriving from Juventus for £10M in the summer.The Italian tried an acrobatic strike which, while off target, was met by the rising Jota who buried his header.The Portuguese made it two in the 49th minute, sweeping home his third goal of the campaign with a low right footer.Stylish though the finish was from just inside the box, a lot of credit had to go to Jones.The midfielder who says he’s “never been happier” at Anfield picked the ball up on the edge of his own box.A driving 50-yard run later, he played the sweetest of one-twos with Gakpo before a perfect touch set up Jota.Slot replaced the Portuguese and Chiesa for Mo Salah and Alexis MacAllister but it was one of Lopetegui’s subs who rattled the Kop cage.He motored forward in the 66th minute to lash a shot that Kelleher did extremely well to parry.But had Max Kilman kept his head and controlled his feet he’d have levelled from close range.Lopetegui was then booked for getting too lippy after desperate appeals for a penalty were denied.With no VAR, referee Andy Madeley rejected the argument that Tsimikas used his arms to deflect a cross from Vladimir Coufal.And just as West Ham thought they might yet create a shock, there was Salah to settle the issue.Bradley cut the ball back for MacAllister, whose shot was parried by Lukasz Fabianski. READ MORE SUN STORIESBut the ball landed straight at Salah’s feet, and his volley left the goalkeeper for dead.Alvarez headed for the tunnel a couple of minutes later after a poor challenge on Salah that produced a second yellow, before Gakpo added to Hammers’ pain with a late, late double.Edson Alvarez was sent off for two yellow cardsCredit: GettyCody Gakpo netted a two late on in the matchCredit: Getty More

      Arsenal player ratings: Ethan Nwaneri proves why he’s so highly rated but familiar tale for struggling Gabriel Jesus

      by

      ETHAN NWANERI will remember this night for the rest of his life after scoring twice on his full Arsenal debut.Still a teenager, he proved why is so highly-rated with a well-taken double to sink League One Bolton.Ethan Nwaneri marked his full debut with two goals either side of half-timeCredit: GettyRaheem Sterling caught the eye and capped his brilliant display with a goalCredit: GettyGabriel Jesus was wasteful in front of goalCredit: APNwaneri made history two years ago when he became the youngest debutant in Arsenal’s history aged just 15-years-old.Now 17, he proved why Mikel Arteta thinks so highly of him by pouncing to tap in Raheem Sterling’s low cross and put Arsenal 2-0 up.He provided energy throughout and showed clever touches in and around the Arsenal box.Nwaneri’s dream debut then got even better shortly after half-time as he fired under goalkeeper Luke Southwood after being played through by Declan Rice, who opened the scoring.READ MORE ON ARSENALArteta will take plenty of positives from the display of the youngsters he deployed, with four Gunners making their Arsenal debuts including 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter.Myles Lewis-Skelly was the stand-out of the recent academy graduates while Raheem Sterling looked menacing on his full Arsenal debut.He went off to a standing ovation as Gooners caught a glimpse of the danger he offers, with Gabriel Martinelli at risk of losing his place in the side.Another who is unlikely to start against Leicester on Saturday is Gabriel Jesus, who again proved wasteful in front of goal.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSHere is how SunSport’s Kealan Hughes rated the Gunners display on another night where the Hale End alumni impressed.Jack Porter – 6He may be 16 years old but he did not show it tonight. Had one scare when his pass was blocked by Aaron Collins and the ball flew over but other than that he did not put a foot wrong.Tight-lipped Mikel Arteta hints Arsenal picked up ‘serious’ injury against Man City as he says ‘we have to wait on one’ There was nothing he could do for the goal as Collins was clean through and had plenty of time to decide his finish, before rounding the goalkeeper and passing into an empty net.Josh Nichols – 6Encouraging signs from the right-back although he was not really tested in a defensive capacity.Jakub Kiwior – 6Dealt with Bolton’s many crosses into the box but was far too high up the pitch, along with Calafiori, which allowed Bolton to break and score.Riccardo Calafiori – 7A Rolls-Royce defender who carries himself a bit like David Luiz, minus the erratic decision-making.Went close with a long-range shot so is clearly not afraid to let fly from distance. Dealt with John McAtee who is a tricky customer at times.Myles Lewis-Skelly – 7Looked very comfortable in possession and saw plenty of the ball. Excellent composure for a young head and linked with Sterling well.Went off with a knock on the hour mark.Jorginho – 6Kept things ticking over but in truth it was quite an easy night for the Italian.One excellent cross to find Sterling who almost found the back of the net.Declan Rice – 7Took his goal very well and everything Arsenal did went through him.Subbed on the hour mark with Arteta looking to keep his legs fresh.Ethan Nwaneri – 9A night to remember for the 17-year-old as he capped his first start for the club with his first goals.Showed great poaching instinct to tap in Sterling’s low cross for the first and fired under the goalkeeper for his second.Bukayo Saka – 9Typical Saka performance and he was a constant threat with his delivery, whether in open play or from corners.Produced an assist for Sterling’s goal and, on another night, would have had a goal.Raheem Sterling – 9A threat throughout and he is back playing with a smile on his face, which is great to see.Worked hard and got his deserved goal when he poked in from two yards out. He will not score an easier goal in his time with the Gunners, or any club for that matter.Gabriel Jesus – 5Plenty of energy and panache up front but without the finishing to match – a familiar tale of his Arsenal career.There are still doubts over whether he will score enough goals to help the Gunners win silverware.Subs Gabriel (for Lewis-Skelly, 62 mins) – 6Had virtually nothing to do, with Arsenal in the ascendency from the minute he came on until full time.Kai Havertz (for Rice, 62 mins) – 6Got in behind the defence once but his shot from a narrow angle was closed down by the keeper.Then reacted quickest to score after Sterling had a shot saved.Maldini Kacurri (for Calafiori, 70mins) – 5Tidy on the ball and not tested at the back so difficult to judge the debutant.READ MORE SUN STORIESGabriel Martinelli (for Saka, 70mins) – 6Got in behind constantly but failed to make the most of his chances with some wayward crossing.Ismeal Kabia (for Sterling, 81 mins) – 6Another debutant but will need to get more minutes to prove what he is all about.

      Arsenal 5 Bolton 1: 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri runs the show against League One opposition in comfortable win for Gunners

      by

      SOME of Arsenal’s greatest young talents have made their names in the Carabao Cup.You can add 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri to that list.Teenager Ethan Nwaneri was the man of the momentCredit: GettyUnder Arsene Wenger, Cesc Fabregas became the club’s youngest-ever first team starter at 16 years and 177 days in a third-round tie against Rotherham in October 2003, before becoming their youngest ever scorer two months later in the fourth round against Wolves.In September 2008, Jack Wilshere made his first senior start and scored his first goal in a 6-0 third round thrashing of Sheffield United at 16 years and 266 days.And last night against Bolton, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta carried on that tradition by chucking more record-breaking Hale End academy teenagers into a third round clash.Four of them got their first run-outs, meaning Arteta has now handed debuts to TWELVE academy players since taking over in December 2019 – but it was two-goal Nwaneri who stole the show.READ MORE ON ARSENALNwaneri clinched the title of youngest ever Prem player back in September 2022 with a substitute appearance away at Brentford at the age of 15 years and 181 days.And here at the Emirates, on his first senior start, the midfield starlet grabbed a goal either side of half time after Declan Rice’s 16th minute opener against the Trotters.At 17 years and 188 days, Nwaneri is now Arsenal’s fourth youngest scorer of the 21st century, behind Fabregas, Wilshere and Arturo Lupoli.Arteta had a headache in between the sticks with No.1 David Raya left out as a precaution due to a thigh knock, new-signing Neto cup-tied and 18-year-old Tommy Setford injured too.Most read in FootballDeclan Rice opened the scoring for ArsenalCredit: PARice celebrates his openerCredit: ReutersNwaneri ran the show at the EmiratesCredit: AFPNwaneri celebrates his firstCredit: GettyCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERSSo, at the age of 16 years and 72 days, fresh-faced Essex-born keeper Jack Porter became the youngest player to ever start a match for Arsenal, leap-frogging the great Fabregas.Porter now also holds the record of Arsenal’s youngest goalie in their history by two years and is the second youngest player to feature in a senior match, behind Nwaneri.Arsenal chief executive Tim Lewis fails to shake hands with Manchester City’s top brass after dramatic Etihad drawIn the 53rd minute, Porter’s clean sheet dreams were dashed without having to make a save – Aaron Collins rounding the youngster after a speedy counter.And in all the Hale End excitement, Raheem Sterling’s first start since joining on loan from Chelsea this summer was slightly overshadowed, despite also getting on the scoresheet.Porter and Nwaneri were two of NINE academy players in Arteta’s much-changed squad following Sunday’s Battle of the Etihad, with five in a starting line-up that had an average age of 22.7, including Bukayo Saka, Josh Nichols and Myles Lewis-Skelly.Left-back Lewis-Skelly, 17, had an eventful senior debut against Manchester City last weekend – booked as a sub and squaring up to Erling Haaland at full-time, but earned his first start in this one while right-back Nichols, 18, made his full debut.Fellow young Guns Ismeal Kabia, Maldini Kacurri, Ayden Heaven and Alexei Rojas made up a strong bench with defender Kacurri and winger Kabia, both 18, also making their debuts late on.Raya, Jurrien Timber, Ben White and Leandro Trossard were left at home, but all eyes were on Porter in the early stages – a player who had only tasted U21s football for the first time in August.With a nervy fifth minute first touch, he was left on his backside, but such was Arsenal’s dominance that Porter’s only real job before the break was to pick an offside goal out of his net.READ MORE SUN STORIESRice curled in a sweet effort from a Nichols cross not dealt with by Scott Arfield and Sterling teed up Nwaneri for a 37th minute tap-in.Some poor play from the visitors out the back gifted Nwaneri a fairy tale second in the 49th minute before Sterling and Kai Havertz wrapped up a near-perfect night in North London, as Lewis-Skelly limped off with an injury on the hour mark.Nwaneri doubled his tallyCredit: GettyNwaneri had a night to rememberCredit: GettyRaheem Sterling got his first Arsenal goalCredit: GettySterling was all smiles in Arsenal redCredit: GettyAaron Collins pulled one back for BoltonCredit: GettyIt was nothing more than a consolationCredit: GettyKai Havertz got in on the actionCredit: GettyIt wrapped up the winCredit: GettyArsenal player ratings vs BoltonETHAN NWANERI will remember this night for the rest of his life after scoring twice on his full Arsenal debut.The Gunners eased to a 5-1 victory over Bolton in the Carabao Cup third round.See how their players, young and old, rated at the Emirates.Jack Porter – 6He may be 16 years old but he did not show it tonight.
