      Angry fans slam ‘ridiculous’ referee after Andre Onana saves Southampton penalty to turn Man Utd clash on its head

      by

      FANS have slammed referee Stuart Attwell after Southampton’s Cameron Archer had to wait 51 SECONDS to take his penalty against Manchester United.The match was level at 0-0 when Diogo Dalot chopped Saints kid Tyler Dibling down in the box.Cameron Archer was made to wait before missing his penaltyCredit: GettyAndre Onana saved Archer’s penalty down lowCredit: RexAfter a VAR check, the spot-kick was confirmed and Archer stepped up for the Saints.The striker put the ball on the spot but was made to wait almost a minute before being allowed to take it.And, when he was finally allowed to strike towards goal, Archer’s limp low shot was kept out by a stretching Andre Onana.He managed to get onto the rebound but his header too was caught by the United stopper, to the delight of a thrilled Lisandro Martinez.Most read in FootballIn total, the time between the penalty being awarded and it being taken was over TWO AND A HALF MINUTES.And Southampton fans were fuming with Attwell for making Archer wait, with one saying: “Why was there such a huge delay before he could take it?”It’d been checked, no one was in the box? That was ridiculous, seemed to be the ref deliberately waiting.”A second wrote: “That’s a disgrace. Why did the referee make Archer wait for so long?”Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSA third added: “You could see Archer getting more restless as he was made to wait.

      Premier League star in neighbour row over basketball court & firepit built without permission WINS battle to keep them

      by

      A PREMIER League star in an intense row with his neighbour over a basketball court and firepit has won a battle to keep them.Ben Chilwell, 27, became embroiled in the disagreement when he raised the back garden of his £5m Surrey mansion and erected a retaining wall for a new walkway.The £5m mansion is undergoing works which neighbours have complained aboutCredit: Kevin DunnettBen Chilwell has won a battle to keep his basketball court and firepit at his mansionCredit: AlamyBut the Chelsea defender failed to get the go-ahead for the Ground Force-style makeover at his luxury five-bed pad which boasts a swimming pool, gym and two games rooms.He needed consent from the local council for the “engineering operation” and faced a possible red card over the unauthorised development.His next-door neighbour objected, citing loss of privacy and overlooking, but the council have now granted retrospective permission for the landscape alterations.In his ruling, a planning officer said: “Despite the change in levels in this part of the garden, it is considered that the works do not significantly alter the overall land levels of the application site.read more on football”Moreover, the works are located in the rear garden and would not be visible from the street scene and are therefore acceptable.”The proposed development is considered in terms of scale, form, bulk, height, massing, spacing and design, and there would be no adverse impact on the character of the area or the visual amenities of the street scene as a result of the proposals.”Chilwell wants to plant new laurel and yew hedges to provide screening with further soft planting in grey, green and purple – but no blue.He also wants to splash out on a stone-stepped pool seating area with glass balustrade, and new paving at his home near Chelsea’s Cobham training ground.Most read in FootballDocuments submitted as part of the planning application reveal that building work on the sunken fire pit and basketball court started in April but has not yet been completed.Ben Chilwell’s Unauthorized Home Renovations Spark DisputeIn a letter objecting, the neighbour wrote: “This increase in height means someone in this section of the garden or on the firepit walkway now has direct line of sight into our garden, terrace and kitchen area.”This is a loss of amenity and the new levels mean we are now overlooked.”We are keen to retain the privacy and amenity of our home, terrace and garden and whilst we would prefer the new ground levels not to be so high we appreciate that some mitigation through screening foliage has now been proposed.”Ben Chilwell ‘thrown career lifeline’BY Tony RobertsonBEN Chilwell has been thrown a career lifeline after being offered a Chelsea escape route, reports suggest.The 27-year-old has effectively been frozen out of Chelsea’s squad by new boss Enzo Maresca after being told he does not feature in the manager’s plans.Chilwell, who signed for the club for £45million from Leicester in 2020 and was named vice-captain last season, is down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.Marc Cucurella and new signing Renato Veiga are both ahead of him for the left-back slot.Chilwell had been joined in the Blues “bomb squad” by Raheem Sterling and Trevoh Chalobah, who both managed to secure loan deals away from the club on deadline day.However, the 21-cap England international was unable to secure a transfer despite reported interest from Brentford and Manchester United, though the latter are understood to have never initiated talks.Instead, Chilwell, who is earning £200,000-a-week with three years to run on his deal, will have to secure a transfer overseas if he is to earn playing minutes this season.According to GiveMeSport, Chilwell is thought to be content at Stamford Bridge and will not move unless the right move presents itself.The Dutch and Portuguese transfer windows both shut tonight, as well as the transfer window for Saudi Arabia, although it’s understood Chilwell is not keen on a move to the Middle East.One window that will remain open for a while longer is the Turkish Super Lig window, which does not close until September 13.

      Southampton vs Man Utd LIVE SCORE: Rashford breaks goal drought as Ten Hag’s men pick up easy victory – latest updates

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED have comfortably beaten Southampton 3-0 in the Premier League.The Red Devils went ahead thanks to Matthijs de Ligt’s first goal for the club, which came moments after Andre Onana saved Cameron Archer’s penalty. Marcus Rashford made it 2-0 with a brilliant curling effort moments later. And Alejandro Garnacho made it 3-0 with a brilliant finish in the last minute of the game. Kick-off time: 12:30pm BSTLive stream: Discovery+TV channel: TNT Sports 1Southampton XI: Ramsdale; Sugawara, Stephens, Bednarek, Walker-Peters; Downes, Fernandes, Ugochukwu; Dibling, Archer, Brereton DiazMan Utd XI: Onana, Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot, Eriksen, Mainoo, Fernandes, Amad, Rashford, ZirkzeeBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSFollow ALL the action from St Mary’s with our live blog below…Match reportMatthijs de Ligt and Marcus Rashford grabbed the first-half goals to postpone the next Erik ten Hag crisis for at least another week.But Manchester United were let off the hook by a Southampton side who outplayed them in the opening half an hour and failed to convert a penalty.It would have been fascinating to see how United responded to that kind of setback.In the end, though, Ten Hag’s side ran out comfortable enough winners and he avoided becoming the first United boss to lose three Premier League games in a row since 2015.The Saints never recovered from somehow finding themselves two down at the break after striker Cameron Archer let them down at both ends.Copy linkCopiedMore from Ten HagHe continued, discussing Marcus Rashford and what that goal could do for him.He said: “It’s very important.

From that moment on, the game was all ours.”I’m not surprised [by De Ligt’s quality]. At this moment he is not fit, he’s not at 100% speed. He needs the games to go up to it. “We see glimpses now and once he’s there he will do much better. We are happy with him and especially today with his game.”Copy linkCopiedTough statPlenty of difficult stats will be headed Southampton’s way.But that was their 400th Premier League defeat of their existence.Unfortunately for them, it certainly won’t be their last.Copy linkCopiedHow it standsNot long until the 3pm kick offs get underway.United up to 7th with that victory and they can put their feet up and watch the other scores roll in.Southampton in 19th but will go bottom if Everton can get anything at Aston Villa.Copy linkCopiedDe-LigtedMatthijs De Ligt told TNT Sports: “The win was obviously really important. I think if you get three points from three games it’s not enough so there was some pressure but I think today we played very well. “A big credit to Andre Onana who saved a really important penalty, he changed the game for us.”We’ve been working on some set pieces, this one was not exactly out of the book but this was from a good spot.”Copy linkCopiedMatch statsThe numbers to round up the action from St Mary’s.Incredible that Saints had no shots at goal after the penalty was scored.10 shots on target for Manchester United in the end and they took a grip of possession in that second half.Copy linkCopiedFT: Southampton 0-3 Man UtdAfter the opening 30 minutes, you couldn’t have seen it being so comfortable for United.Southampton were well in the game and should’ve gone in front from the spot – Onana saving Archer’s spot kick.United scored twice in the rest of the first half through De Ligt and Rashford.Southampton had NO shots at goal since that penalty and it was tough after Stephens was sent off with ten minutes to play.Garnacho added the icing on the cake, scoring with the final kick.Copy linkCopiedFULL TIMEComfortable second half for United and it was needed!Southampton 0-3 Man UtdCopy linkCopiedSouthampton 0-3 Man Utd90+6.
