      by

      NEWCASTLE’S fine form came to a screeching halt as West Ham pulled one out of the bag to potentially save Julen Lopetegui’s job.Eddie Howe’s side could have climbed into the top six with a win over the struggling Hammers.Tomas Soucek was on target as West Ham beat Newcastle 2-0Credit: GettyAaron Wan-Bissaka also netted to bag the Hammers a much-needed winCredit: AFPBut Tomas Soucek and Aaron Wan-Bissaka came up trumps to stun the Toon and earn a huge win for their under-pressure boss that lifted them to six points from danger.Toon started fast and Alexander Isak had the ball in the net after peeling off the last man and dinking it over Lukasz Fabianski only for an offside flag to ruin the party.But the Hammers knocked the stuffing right out of them in the tenth minute.Soucek was given the freedom of St. James’ as he escaped Lloyd Kelly, in for the suspended Dan Burn, and headed home Emerson Palmieri’s outswinging corner.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLThis was not part of the script, but it was just the start Spaniard Lopetegui had dreamed about.And he was kicking every ball in his technical area throughout an animated first half performance that led to him being booked for dissent by referee Craig Pawson.That was his third caution of the campaign and he’ll now have to serve a touchline ban and miss Arsenal’s visit on Saturday.Not that he cared one jot at the time as he continued to bark orders at his side while Toon could only muster a curling effort from Joe Willock that went wide.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSIt was all feeling rather flat from those in Black and White and it could have got even worse as the visitors nearly doubled their advantage when Carlos Soler, replacing Guido Rodriguez, shot round the post.Despite needing a new passport following his drama in the international break returning from Ghana, the tireless Michail Antonio was left requiring a shirt here.Meet West Ham wonderkid Kaelan CaseyAfter what seemed like his 100th tussle with the defence, he emerged with a huge rip right down the middle of his jersey, and he revelled in the minute or so it took for him to change it while the game was stopped.Longstaff headed straight at Fabianski while Lewis Hall’s drive and shot got the locals back off their seats.But both Anthony Gordon and Isak blew chances to go in level at the break.Soucek headed West Ham into the lead against the run of playCredit: AFPThe goal galvanised the visitors as they grew in confidenceCredit: RexThe England winger capitalised on Jean-Clair Todibo’s poor clearance inside the area.However, his strike was saved by the leg of the Hammers goalie before the striker had an effort deflected wide.Harvey Barnes came on for Willock at the break and teed up Gordon to drag an effort off target.Wan-Bissaka’s second-half shot doubled West Ham’s leadCredit: AlamyThe Hammers never looked back after going two goals upCredit: GettyBut any momentum was soon cut short as West Ham doubled their lead eight minutes after the restart.Lucas Paqueta won the ball back and Jarrod Bowen broke and found Wan-Bissaka on the underlap.

      Sky Sports investigate Roy Keane row with Ipswich fan with bosses set to talk to fellow pundits Jamie Redknapp and Co

      by

      SKY SPORTS chiefs have asked Roy Keane’s pundit pals to help them investigate the former Ireland midfielder’s scrape with a fan.Keane was on post-match pitchside duty after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich when he was verbally accosted by a home supporter.Sky Sports chiefs are investigating Roy Keane’s apparent row with an Ipswich fanCredit: https://x.com/adenLFC4lifeKeane’s fellow pundit pals have been asked for their accounts of the incidentThe former Portman Road boss, who had two seasons in charge of the Suffolk side, was angered by the comments and caught on camera telling his verbal assailant “I’ll wait for you in the car park”.Ipswich security staff then intervened to take the supporter away.Yesterday, Ipswich fan Neil Finbow claimed on social media that he had been the subject of Keane’s ire.In his Facebook account, Finbow wrote: “New claim to fame – just been offered out into the carpark by Roy Keane after a few choice words.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL“Even Jamie Redknapp had to come over to get him away – just ya average Sunday evening out.”Responding to a comment, he then allegedly wrote: “I was reminding him that he set us back five years and ruined our football club. I also mentioned how he wasn’t fit to step foot anywhere near our ground [Portman Road].”Oh, and I mentioned about him walking out on a World Cup and breaking Haaland’s leg and putting it in his autobiography.”I hate the bloke, and that’s been boiling up since he got sacked all those years ago.”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSFinbow went on to write in a further comment: “The truth hurts, mate. I feel sick when I look at him.”He went on to say that Keane argued with another fan and that his car park comment may have been taken out of context.He told the Daily Mail: “The argument all stemmed from an issue with his children. The fan’s issue was about getting autographs back in the day when he was the manager here. The guy was basically saying Roy Keane ruled with fear. “You could see him pointing to the car park because that is where the autographs were done, and that’s where he had the issue with Roy all those years ago. So, it makes sense they were pointing over there.”He added: “What Roy said back could have been misconstrued. He might have wanted to talk in the car park as that’s where it all happened.”It’s hard to tell. But yeah, he could have meant ‘I’ll talk to you in the car park,’ but it came across as if he was inviting him out [for a fight].”Man Utd player ratings vs Ipswich Former Ipswich boss Keane clashed with the fan after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw at Portman RoadThe fan posted details of their conversation on social mediaCredit: https://x.com/adenLFC4lifeIt was the second incident involving Keane and supporters in 15 months.In June, Arsenal fan Scott Law was given a three-year banning order by magistrates and ordered to pay £764 after butting Keane after a dispute in a lounge at the Emirates Stadium after the Gunners’ win over United in September.READ MORE SUN STORIESSky Sports executives have now asked Keane’s pundit duty colleagues – Redknapp, Izzy Christensen and presenter Kelly Cates – as well as production staff on duty to give their accounts of the incident so that a full picture can be given.At this stage, though, Sun Sport understands that no further action is expected while there have been no internal discussions about Keane being given extra security support in future.Amorim needs A LOT of time on training pitch to fix Man Utd… unfortunately he won’t get it, writes Charlie WyettIN theory at least, the only way is up for Manchester United, writes Charlie Wyett.We are nearly a third of the way through this Premier League season and it is still staggering to see United lurking in 12th place.They have managed just four wins with a goal difference of 0. Only Everton, Crystal Palace and Southampton have scored less.It is certainly not a false position and a point at Ipswich illustrated the massive job that Ruben Amorim faces.United’s fans sang the name of their new manager throughout the game.They also gave the players rapturous applause on the final whistle and although this was an improvement on some of the performances this season, the bar has been set pretty low.The club’s optimistic supporters will see that their team is only six points off the top four.  Ultimately, though, it is difficult to see United even reaching last season’s final position of eighth as they look worse.United’s patched-up defence will improve – and a three-man formation at the back will help them – but you have to wonder where the goals are going to come from. Marcus Rashford struck after 81 seconds and then went missing for the rest of his 68 minutes on the pitch.Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee were also introduced in that double change midway inside the second half but added absolutely nothing. What a terrible couple of signings they have proved to be and United’s fans would swap both of them for Ipswich’s Liam Delap.Amorim did not celebrate the Rashford goal and paced around his technical area throughout looking uneasy.Each time there was a break in play, he called over players for instructions.Alejandro Garnacho headed over to the touchline on a couple of occasions while there were also words for Diogo Dalot, Casemiro and Jonny Evans.Amorim, a manager with infectious enthusiasm, will be hopeful he can get his message across to all of the players in the next few weeks.But the problem for the Portuguese coach is that this was the first of 10 games in the space of 33 days.What he really needs are spells on the training ground without a midweek game but he does not have that luxury.
