    West Ham 3 Fulham 2: Graham Potter wins first Prem game with Hammers after Leno blunder in five-goal thriller

    THREE training sessions, five players out but one hell of an impact.Graham Potter delivered the most convincing West Ham performance of the season in his first Premier League game in charge.Lucas Paqueta celebrates what proved the winning goalCredit: ReutersCarlos Soler angled West Ham in front on 31 minutesCredit: GettyGraham Potter saw the Hammers hold on for victoryCredit: PAThe Hammers fed off some comical Fulham defending but also finally showed some energy having looked so lethargic under axed Julen Lopetegui.Carlos Soler, Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta all stepped up to score for a squad shorn of strikers to end Fulham’s eight game unbeaten run.There were still things to work on, as Alex Iwobi managed to score from not one but two crosses.But, given where they have come from, this was a big night for West Ham and Potter.MOST READ IN FOOTBALLInjuries to Niclas Fullkrug, Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio left the new manager with very little in terms of attacking options.Potter – who suffered defeat in his first game at Aston Villa on Friday – had just one senior striker in his squad, Danny Ings, but opted to leave the forward on the bench.Instead, Brazilian Paqueta was leading the line, with Soler pushed out to the left wing.While what to do up top was the pressing issue on the night, West Ham’s bigger problems have been at the back.Most read in FootballTomas Soucek hails his goal as West Ham triumphedCredit: GettySoucek doubled the Hammers’ leadCredit: GettyJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUSThat was exposed after just six minutes, when Iwobi was allowed to drift in behind the back line and cross for an unmarked Harry Wilson, who smacked an effort against the bar.Fulham were in control and racking up the chances.Where it went wrong for Julen Lopetegui at West HamEmile Smith Rowe had a couple of openings, Raul Jimenez should have done better with another and Antonee Robinson dragged one wide of the far post on the break.It looked a matter of time before they were ahead, but suddenly West Ham settled, surged and stunned Fulham.Max Kilman had a goal ruled out for offside from a Soler free-kick, but it gave them confidence.After a spell of pressure and some incredibly generous football from the visitors, Soler had them ahead.Bernd Leno played a ball to Pereira, under pressure just inside the Fulham box.His suicidal first time ball across the box smacked of a player and team who thought this would be an easy ride – and cost them dearly.It fell straight to Soler who met it first time with a composed finish – his first goal for the club.The Spaniard arrived highly rated but has failed to make any sort of impact until now.But, playing out of position, Soler suddenly looked full of confidence and was involved in the second goal just two minutes later.Having collected the ball from Lukasz Fabianski, Kilman sent a long ball towards Paqueta, whose flick on found Kudus.Raul Jimenez tried to claim he got the final touch after Alex Iwobi curled a cross straight in to cut Fulham’s deficitCredit: RexThe winger drifted inside and fed Soler. His ball across to the other side of the box left Fulham in a twist and was met by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who cut back for skipper Soucek to finish high into the net first time.This was a big change from the West Ham of the last five months.And while they were still giving up chances, Jimenez clipping the top of the bar with a header at the far post, there was an intensity that has been absent for too long.But it is naïve to expect a new boss to fix everything at once. Another of West Ham’s multiple issues this season has been conceding after the break. And they managed it again here.Just six minutes after the restart, Fulham found a way back.Under little pressure, Iwobi drifted inside and clipped a cross for Jimenez, who just missed getting a touch on the ball but did enough to put Fabianski off and allow the ball to drift in.Despite that soft touch just after the break, West Ham responded well to conceding – another element which has been lacking this term.Having stayed solid, they were rewarded with another almighty Fulham balls-up.Joachim Andersen rolled the ball back to Leno who dawdled under pressure from Ings, just on for Kudus.Ings’ challenge landed the ball with Paqueta who finished into an unguarded net.West Ham looked comfortable, for a while at least. Having not learned that an Iwobi cross can be dangerous from earlier in the game – they allowed him another, from which he scored again.This was a clipped ball for Wilson, whose attempt to head the ball saw him duck out the way but again causing enough trouble for it to find the back of the net.READ MORE SUN STORIESJimenez, Sasa Lukic and Adama Traore all had big chances for a leveller as the Hammers held on, but the hosts just crawled over the line.Nothing is ever simple at West Ham, as Potter is finding out.Harry Wilson watched another Iwobi cross drift in for Fulham’s secondCredit: Reuters More

    Man Utd rivals ‘believe Ratcliffe will sanction transfer of homegrown star this month with Mainoo and Garnacho targeted’

    PREMIER LEAGUE clubs are bracing themselves for Manchester United to put the likes of Kobbie Mainoo and Marcus Rashford on the market.According to The Telegraph, United’s rivals believe part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe will put homegrown talent up for sale to stay within financial rules.Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo could attract transfer attentionCredit: PAThat would mean Rashford, Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho would be at risk of being sold by the Old Trafford board.It was announced today that all 20 Premier League clubs avoided charges over profit and sustainability rules (PSR) for the 2023-24 campaign.But United’s financial losses mean they give themselves little room for manoeuvre without Champions League football next season.The club currently sit 13th in the league – with European football well out of sight for now.READ MORE IN football But their PSR position would be helped by selling a homegrown player generating “pure profit” after being developed by the club.That is opposed to selling on a player they have already bought – with Rashford, Mainoo and Garnacho all academy products.Rashford, 27, is in talks to leave United after revealing in December that he is ready for a “new challenge”. His reps were in Italy to speak to AC Milan while the likes of Monaco, Arsenal and Tottenham are also linked. Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSMainoo’s future was thrown into doubt after failing to agree terms on a new contract – with his existing deal expiring in the summer of 2027. Chelsea and Bayern Munich are among those monitoring the midfielder’s situation, as revealed by SunSport. And Garnacho has fallen out of favour under United manager Ruben Amorim – having been dropped for the Manchester derby in January. He has since returned to the squad – but is still linked with a move away with Napoli interested in the winger. Man Utd squad transfer verdictSunSport gives its verdict on what Man Utd stars should stay or go in the first phase of Ruben Amorim’s squad rebuild:Andre Onana – StayDespite being guilty of some erratic performances, Andre Onana remains a world-class goalkeeper and United would struggle to find better in the market.The defence has begun to look more solid in recent weeks now Amorim has had time to coach the structure into the team, and hopefully, that will be converted into clean sheets going forward.Noussair Mazraoui – StayThe best signing from the summer window so far, Noussair Mazraoui has proven to be everything Man Utd needed and more.Versatile, reliable and passionate no matter whether he plays at wing-back or centre-back, it is a no-brainer to keep the Moroccan.Leny Yoro – StayAfter a pre-season injury, Leny Yoro has taken some time to bed in but he has shown some superb moments in a Man Utd shirt already like his lung-busting run to block a Liverpool shot in the 2-2 draw at Anfield earlier this month.At the age of 19 he will only get better and while too much expectation should not be thrust on him just yet, the early signs suggest he could be a mainstay in defence for years to come.Harry Maguire – GoThe last time we did this list Harry Maguire was one of our main defensive options to be sold, but since Amorim has come with the back three the England international has barely put a foot wrong.The issue with Maguire is that while he is perfectly suited to a back three, he will be 32 in the summer and has just one year left on his contract, so if a serious offer comes in he should regrettably be sold.Matthijs de Ligt – StayMatthijs de Ligt has been very hit or miss since arriving in the summer. Capable of heroic last-ditch tackles like he did at Arsenal and also capable of some very silly passages of play like his handball against Liverpool.In many ways, the Dutchman seems like a younger version of Maguire and given some more time to bed in he should improve even more.Lisandro Martinez – StayHas really started to grow into the Amorim system in recent games after a very sticky patch of form.He is one of the team’s best progressive passers in the build-up phase and has the dogged mentality this team will need to improve and claw its way up the table.Luke Shaw – GoIt’s been said that one of the best abilities is availability, and that rings incredibly true for Luke Shaw.World class on his day and is clearly still capable of finding those levels, as seen at less than full fitness with England at the Euros. But he is simply not available often enough to warrant keeping.Tyrell Malacia – GoTyrell Malacia is still recovering his match sharpness from his two-year injury layoff, so it is a bit harsh to make a verdict on him so soon.The current concern is that United will need to aggressively recruit specialist left wing-backs in the summer, and Malacia so far has not looked totally comfortable playing there.Manuel Ugarte – StayQuestion marks were being raised about him after his first few games. But under Amorim, Manuel Ugarte has once again become the lynchpin of his midfield.He knows the system inside out and is one of the Premier League’s most proficient ball winners. It would be madness to consider his sale next summer.Kobbie Mainoo – StayDespite reports that Chelsea and Bayern Munich want to sign the 19-year-old, Kobbie Mainoo should be one of the few genuinely untouchable stars at the club and his contract situation needs sorting ASAP.He has quality and aspects to his game not possessed by many other midfielders, and with improvements to the stars around him, he and Ugarte should be able to form an effective partnership for many years to come.Casemiro – GoCasemiro unfortunately seemed to lose his legs going into his second season at Man Utd. And with the 3-4-3 system demanding even more running from him, it is clear he simply does not fit the bill for what the club need going forward.It would also help the club’s financial goals to see him sold due to his massive £375,000-a-week wages being taken off the books.Bruno Fernandes – StayThe club captain, Bruno Fernandes has faced a lot of criticism since taking the armband for his erratic decisions and losing his temper.Yet he remains the best player in the squad by some distance and shows the mentality the squad needs to improve. Besides it’s not like United’s most famous captain of the Premier League era, Roy Keane, was exactly cool-headed.Antony – GoThere’s a definite case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history, with games too often passing him by and lacking quality when he is involved.That being said, he has improved in a number of brief cameos when featuring as a wing-back under Amorim. But unless there is a plan for him to learn the position and become a specialist he should be moved on.Marcus Rashford – GoIt was not supposed to end like this. Once the darling of Old Trafford and Carrington, Marcus Rashford’s comments admitting he wanted a new challenge were probably the final nail in the coffin for his Man Utd future.There is a classy player in there if he can find the motivation to love his football again. A sale to a rival should be ruled out for fear of exactly that, while a sale overseas should be targeted and pushed by the club.Amad Diallo – StayHas taken a real liking to his role as either the right No.10 in the 3-4-3 or as the right wing-back.Amad Diallo has been one of the team’s best players this season and was rewarded with a new deal as a result.Alejandro Garnacho – GoArguably the trickiest star on the list, Alejandro Garnacho has bags of raw talent to elevate him to being world-class. But recent off-field issues and poor form have doubt cast on his future.If, as reports suggest, a major bid of £60m from the likes of Napoli comes in there will be a tough decision to make. Though it may be the financial situation of the club which ultimately tips the scale.Joshua Zirkzee – GoJoshua Zirkzee has certainly been hit-and-miss at United so far. He has had some games and moments where he has looked very impressive, and others where he is simply not good enough.He has a very unique profile which makes him top drawer in the right system, it is just United will probably never play the right way for him to truly excel.Read our verdict on the full Man Utd squad here.Former Man Utd star slams Rashford and says he should move to MLS More
