      Bonus point hoarder Ezri Konsa delivers timely 16-point haul ahead of Gameweek 30

      by

      DREAM TEAM managers should know by now that bonus points add up to something substantial over the course of the season.Take Ezri Konsa (£3m) as a prime example.Bonus ballCredit: Dream TeamAston Villa’s No4 has earned 43 bonus points this campaign, the outright highest tally among defenders at the time of writing.He notched three of them at home to Wolves on Saturday as Unai Emery’s men registered a 2-0 win to keep Tottenham honest in the battle for fourth place.Konsa scored his side’s second goal and contributed to the hosts’ clean sheet to bank 16 points when all was said and done, his best single-game haul of 2023/24 so far.This could be seen as a timely reminder of his merits as he’s seemingly a smart option for Gameweek 30.Aston Villa are favourites to win the Europa Conference LeagueCredit: ReutersThe Villains have another fixture to fulfil in Gameweek 29, a daunting trip to the Etihad on Wednesday night, but after that it’s back-to-back home games against Brentford and Lille.The Bees are without a win in seven league outings and while the French outfit are performing well in Ligue 1, Villa are the bookies’ favourites to win the Europa Conference League this season.Clean sheets aren’t guaranteed but Konsa’s ability to earn bonus points makes him an appealing option at a time when several other popular defenders are due to face strong opposition.Manchester City travel to Real Madrid in Gameweek 30 while Arsenal host Bayern Munich.Most read in FootballThere’s no need for gaffers to ditch the likes of William Saliba (£3.4m), Ruben Dias (£3.7m) and Ben White (£3.9m) as a matter of urgency but their midweek clean sheet chances are relatively low.Konsa banked 16 points against Wolves at the weekendCredit: RexAt £3m, Konsa is a comparatively cheap enabler who could help Dream Team bosses navigate a potentially tricky Gameweek.The England international has amassed 163 points in total this season which puts him just outside the top ten defenders.However, only five assets in his position have earned more points across their last three outings.Essentially, he’s a reliable, in-form performer who arguably has the best fixtures (among those with two) in Gameweek 30.talkSPORT BET Welcome offer

      West Ham 5 Freiburg 0 (agg 5-1): Hammers secure huge comeback win despite Paqueta tantrum after being subbed

      by

      WEST HAM turned on the style to fire their way into the Europa League quarter-finals.David Moyes took the handbrake off and was rewarded with five goals, including two stunners from Mohammed Kudus.Kudus shone as West Ham won easilyCredit: GettyLucas Paqueta threw a strop after being substituted offCredit: TNT SportsPaqueta opened the scoring for West Ham as they thrashed FreiburgCredit: RexThe 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 start for West Ham 🤩Lucas Paquetá taps home to bring the Hammers level with Freiburg on aggregate within nine minutes 👏#UEL pic.twitter.com/7uWVCuZK26— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) March 14, 2024

      After disappointing displays in the first leg and against Burnley on Sunday, this was a reminder of West Ham’s newfound European pedigree.Lucas Paqueta’s early goal got this second leg off to the perfect start before Jarrod Bowen and Aaron Cresswell both scored fine goals either side of the break to lift the mood in East London.Kudus then took the roof off with a stunning solo goal, covering three quarters of the pitch on a superb solo run to get his first before drilling in a fabulous fifth to seal an 11th straight home win in Europe.Moyes will continue to split opinion in the stands and debate over whether he should stay or go will rumble on until the summer.But it cannot be denied that when he needs a big performance, the Scot usually gets it. Freiburg, despite being lesser opposition, can be listed alongside Sevilla and Lyon as another memorable night.By the end, the boos from Burnley on Sunday had been replaced by ‘oles’ and optimism of another European push.Despite fears over a struggle to sell tickets due to the early start, the London Stadium was near capacity and full of voice as the Hammers looked to turn this tie around.Backed by the din the hosts made a flying start. Moyes had criticised Paqueta for his performance in Germany last week, but the Brazilian delivered after just nine minutes here.Most read in FootballBowen silenced the critics as he scored on the day he got a call-up to Southgate’s latest England squadCredit: GettyAnd even Aaron Cresswell got in on the actCredit: RexCHELTENHAM BETTING OFFERS – BEST FREE BET DEALS FOR THE FESTIVALWith set-piece specialist James Ward-Prowse dropped to the bench, Aaron Cresswell stepped in and delivered a peach of a corner to the front post.Tomas Soucek’s diving header diverted the ball to the far post where it was met by Paqueta to begin the comeback.

      The SunThe opener may have come from a set piece, but the Hammers were already showing more energy than across 90 minutes in the Black Forest, or the first half against Burnley.With the added attacking players, West Ham were still not completely secure at the back.But the addition of Michail Antonio had transformed them going forward and saw Bowen back in his more natural wide role.If there had been doubts about why Gareth Southgate had elected to call-up the winger for England earlier in the day, they were banished just after the half-hour mark when Bowen put the Hammers ahead in this tie for the first time.Collecting Soucek’s header, which had been well left by Antonio, Bowen turned, shrugged off the much bigger Christian Gunter and drilled a superb low effort into the bottom right.After reaching the semi-finals last time they were in this competition and winning the Europa Conference League last season, Moyes had called on his players to show their European clout here.Just minutes into the second half, they stamped their authority on this tie to banish any half-time jitters.Kudus stole the show with two goals on a brilliant night for the HammersCredit: AFPKudus dug a cross out from the left which was half-cleared to Vladimir Coufal. The Czech found Bowen who lifted his head to pick out Cresswell.The left-back, who was sent off in quarter-final and semi-final ties during West Ham’s last Europa League run, composed himself with a touch and lashed a superb finish into the far corner.The best was yet to come, though, with Kudus – another Moyes was unhappy with last week – pulled out a goal of the season contender, picking up the ball deep in his own half, driving 80 yards past three Freiburg defenders and finishing cooling in the bottom corner.READ MORE SUN STORIESMoyes had started making the changes and was about to bring Kudus off for youngster George Earthy, but the Ghanaian star was not quite done.Soucek and Bowen broke together with the latter teeing up Kudus on the edge of the box.

      ALL eyes are on the Europa League tonight with English sides back in last-16 action. West Ham lost 1-0 to Freiburg and were denied a penalty late on by VAR. Earlier in the evening, Liverpool beat Sparta Prague 5-1 thanks to a brilliant brace from Darwin Nunez and Brighton were thrashed 4-0 by Roma in their first leg clash.

      Hammers still confident of progressing
      Despite defeat in Freiburg this evening, David Moyes’ team will go back to the London Stadium full of confidence that they can turn this tie around.
      Only a goal behind, The Hammers have plenty of goals in this team, especially on home soil.
      It is all set up now for another classic night in Europe for the club, something they are starting to get used to now.

      Once again this evening, Waturo Endo put in a solid performance for Liverpool and steadied the ship in the heart of midfield.
      If Jurgen Klopp is going to win trophies in his last season with the club, Endo is going to be one of the big players who will have made that happen.

      Rangers can feel hard done by with the penalty they conceded this evening as Souttar was adjudged to have handled in the box.
      In this country, that would not be given as he headed the ball onto his own arm with no intention of doing so.
      However, it seems in Europe that the rules are different and teams need clarity on this or it will cause more negativity.
